Bloom stalk of Agastache 'rupestris' with Salvia elegans 'Golden Delicious' behind it...in our garden...Lincoln, Nebraska...August 17th, 2009.

May Blooms Just Waiting For A Hummingbird.......

The foliage is also extremely ornamental and fragrant with thread-like grey-green leaves, giving the entire plant a soft, wispy look.

I really like Agastaches ("Hyssop" of "Licorice Mint") but alas, they too often peter out after only one season. This really beautiful Southwestern Agastache does not!
