Facinating. I grow Cedronella but in 25 years of growing fragrant plants I
haven't heard of Agastache!
Its always a great thrill to come acccross somthing new. I'll certainly try
to track down plants. The smell sounds/smells? a little like the "Mexican
marigolds" -  Tagetes-  we grow. I have not seen Agastache in OZ. Have any
ozzies on the list seen Agastache?
put me down for acopy of your book when it is done.
