AGASTACHE APACHE SUNSET Root Beer Hyssop. Medium 20"- z 5-8. Salmon-orange blooms from June to October. The scented foliage reminds you of the delicious fragrance of root beer.
General Information
Equally good in the border, and as a candidate for container growing. The better the drainage the happier the plant. Attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, with wonderfully spicy fragrant licorice scented foliage. A customer advises us that her Goldfinches are wild for Agastache seed. Most Agastache will self seed readily.

I grew this last summer in the "back 40" where I hardly ever did any supplemental watering during our summer drought and hot, hot summer. It flowered later in the season, and although the photo I posted isn't the greatest, I loved its silvery grey foilage against the orange and purple hues. Fragrant and worth growing. I will plant it again this year, but this time closer to the house where I can enjoy it more often.
