I grew agastache foeniculum (anise hyssop) from seed one year. Lovely aniseed flavoured leaves, bees love the flowers. I let it grow where it was for a couple of years then decided to move it - it didn't survive the move.Originally posted by Containergardener View PostLocation - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

Agastache, I sowed it about three years ago. Sowed in a seed tray and then potted into small pots until they were sturdy enough to plant out.
They have come back every year so looks like they are frost hardy although the stems have become a bit woody.
The bees absolutely love them.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Anyone who grows nasturtium from seed, do you soak your seed first, and if so how do you soak the them and for how long, or do you sow straight into the soil or compostit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

I've always sown straight into compost with a clear plastic bag over the tray until they sprout. They sprout up of their own accord at the plot where ever they've been planted out previously, although they're often up later than my home-sown so I don't think direct sowing would necessarily suit us.
Don't forget Nasturtiums readily self-seed - they're easy to relocate when they come up in an inconvenient spot but I now keep mine to the edges of the plot rather than in amongst the beds.Location: SE Wales about 1250ft upComment

I usually have nasturtiums popping up all over my veg beds but I still sow a few just incase they don’t selfseed.
Like Andraste I sow mine in pots leaving them in an unheated propagator.Location....East Midlands.Comment
