Re: Orange flowers

Gene- I don't know about an eastern species, because it is found through Manitoba and Saskatchewan according to a prairie wildflower site I looked at once upon a time.
It has survived -30 C most winters here, but doesn't much like freeze thaw cycles.

Hello Claire & others,
I am trying Agastaches for the first time this year. Did a bit of
reading up first, as I have always understood most of the agastaches to be
western in origins and not fond of our cold wet winters. I finally settled
on a recommendation for a seed broker I do business with. A. foeniculum, or
Anise hyssop, is supposed to be a eastern species and hardy to zone 4. I
chose the cultivar "Golden Jubilee" for blue flowers on golden foliage and a
smaller plant overall than many of the species. Just needs plenty of light
and average well drained soil. Bonus is they are all big favorites of
butterflies and bees.
