Agastache
Lovers of heat, these tough and drought resistant Mint family relatives guarantee terminal spikes adorned with brightly colored, tubular flowers just about all summer long. Agastaches are easily grown in well drained soils, and will bloom more profusely, over an even longer period of time, if the flowering stems are cut back in midseason. Agastache ‘Pink Panther’ 
Vividly magenta, ‘Pink Panther’s flower-bedecked spires are slightly hushed by darker, earthy pink calyxes. Stems arise clad near the base in dark green, toothed, lanceolate foliage that’s washed with purple. Plant a drift of this warmly colored Agastache among Phlomis samia’s whorled mauve blooms and the coppery spikes of Kniphofia ‘Shining Sceptre’.
Blooms June–October. Size: 2-1/2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 6. Agastache Pink Panther (p-0669)

Agastache foeniculum ‘Golden Jubilee’
Golden Jubilee Hyssop
At long last, a golden-leafed Agastache! Bred by
the Dutch Sahin Seed Company and named in honor of Queen Elizabeth the II’s fifty-year reign,
this bushy beauty’s upright, compact form is
garnished with new leaves glowing chartreuse to
gilded yellow, then transmuting to a lime-green hue
when mature.
Its 2 to 3 in., bluish purple cylindrical
spires are a dazzling counterpoint against serrated,
mint-scented foliage. A brilliant accent for a container
or the perennial border accompanying Euphorbia
myrsinites and Nepeta reichenbachiana, long
blooming ‘Golden Jubilee’ requires
good winter drainage.
Blooms July–September. Size: 20" high x 20" wide; hardy to zone 5. Agastache foeniculum Golden Jubilee (P-1244)

Hummingbirds will flock to this brand new Jelitto introduction, originating in our very own Southwest, and in northern Mexico, while Eryngium ‘Blue Glitter’ makes an intriguing sidekick.
