This is the first year my local nursery has offered this agastache and my first time growing it. It's incredible. (And this from someone who already loved agastaches.) It's been blooming non-stop since I planted it. I'm growing it with my lavenders, which are supposed to like similar conditions, and which provide a nice color contrast of blooms (especially if one grows a lavender that blooms all season long in with the ones that have shorter bloom periods) and a nice contrast of foliage types/colorations. My nursery sold it in the annuals section, so I didn't even realize it's supposed to be perennial in my climate till after I had planted it and started reading up on it. I hope it comes back next year!
