Michael Bailes wrote: What is Agastache and how do I get one? A foeniculum with blue-purple flowers is the Anise Hyssop, which is freely available in NZ. I got my first plant from a nursery and it has seeded happily around the garden ever since. As a perennial it seems short-lived, but is very free with its offspring. I have got a packet of seed which I bought a couple of years ago, but never got round to planting. It should still be alright as it is foil-sealed and has been kept in a closed tin in the fridge. It is supposed to be an "improved" form called Heather Queen (possibly more pinkish than the species). If you would like some of this seed, I will be happy to share this with you. I could also send you the ordinary colour towards th end of summer, when my plnts will be seeding. Let me know if you are interested Moira -- Tony & Moira Ryan <theryans@xtra.co.nz> Wainuiomata, New Zealand
