Maybe they were in the greenhouse too long.  The roots stop expanding in the 
confines of a small pot and some plants complete their life cycle.   It is 
always better to buy a smaller and younger plant.  That being said, I have a 
similar agastache beginning to bloom that was overwintered here in a cold 
frame.  Last year it was an August bloomer.  It seems this plant does not 
want early season pampering.  I hope it will prove perennial for you.
