Another wonderful and very beautiful Agastache!

I love it! I planted 5 one-gallon size plants in 3 containers this year, and have 25 more plants of 'Apricot Sunrise' planted around my yard and still have 5 more one-gallon plants to be planted.

Has thrived in pure sand. Needs good drainage in this area. Almost to vigorous for my small desert garden bed!

This plant does very well in Houston in a semi-shady "woodlands" type micro-environment. Blooms almost continuously from April through frost--a real bonus for me is that it "deadheads" itself so works well in a spot you don't wish to mess with much.

I have mistreated this plant and it has survived well in a south facing border with full sun backed by a house wall. I love the aromatic leaves and the subtle colour harmonies between the open flowers, the buds and the calycies. I can highly recommend this plant if you have a sunny sheltered spot. It came through last winter with temperatures of -7C too.
