Re: Orange flowers

Claire, I agree the Agastaches are phenomenal!  I have very sandy, droughty
soil (an aberration in this state of clay--I also have all the moles in the
entire state!).  This is my first season with the A. canas and hybrids, and
I hope very, very much that they return.  They made such a great show in one
season, that I would consider doing them as annuals.  I am deeply impressed
that you are growing them in zone 4.  Do you do anything else to protect
them?  I have had trouble wintering A. rupestris, but it has been in a
different part of my garden.
