  • Agastache

    Just thought I would post this here.
    This year I am growing Agastache,, just 3 or 4 plants.
    I cannot count the number of bees that have been on these plants since they flowered.
    Obviously a bee favourite.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

    I've sown some seeds, still waiting for signs of life, it says 1-4 months for germination, I wish I'd read that before I bought the seeds!
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
    Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

      Peanut. The variety I am growing is Purple Haze. It germinated within two weeks.
      Maybe you're growing a different type.

        Interesting that you've grown it from seed, as Purple Haze is supposedly a sterile hybrid, according to RHS.
        Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
        Endless wonder.

          Mothhawk, now you'll have me hunting for the seed packet to double check the variety.

            Just went through my seed packets.
            Mothhawk, They were Unwins Lavender Blue Agastache,
