Re: Edible flowers ?& Agastache

Hello.

I had to throw out several posts in this thread unread, I hope I'm not
being redundant...

I'm not sure if they still carry them, but several years ago, I got
Agastache mexicana "Champagne" from Thompson and Morgan, which is
white flowered and flushed with pink, a form of Agastache mexicana
which is fully licorice-scented from Nichols Garden Nursery in Oregon
(1190 N. Pacific Highway, Albany, OR 97321-4598)and Agastache mexicana
"Carlyle Carmine" (carmine-colored flowers) from the Flowery Branch
Seed Company (P.0. Box 1330, Flowery Branch, GA 30542). 

Unlike other specimens of A. mexicana, these seem to resist dying off
spontaneously from some unknown cause, and routinely overwintered in
zone 5. The lemon-scented A. mexicana is to me one of the best lemon
scents in plants, and the hybrids from Seedhunt are truly wonderful,
many of them are healthy and overwinter, so I absolutely have to grow
these. But I've yet to find what all to do right so that they are all
more reliable in my care.

Great Gardening to All,
