Very Beautiful Agastache!

Love this Agastache! Had 'DS' in 2005 and must have accidentally cut the branches before having new growth come up in 2006 and lost that one. This 'DS' is the one I bought again at High Country Gardens this Spring and I'm not going to cut too early next year and/or any year!

I hadn't seen any hummingbirds around our property in the last 3 years, and this year... A.G. (after agastache) we have hummers!!!
