Yes... if you buy from a source that gets its seed from the colder areas of
the plants range. I buy from High Country Gardens in Santa Fe, New Mexico
(505) 438-3031. What they have (Agastache ruperstris) looks pretty red and up
close you can see a red orange blossom sticking out of a purple red bract. The
total look is red. The A. cana is more of a deep magenta/fuschia color. There
is also an Orange (A. aurantiaca - zone 5 with protection), a Violet (A.
rugosum) and a pink (A. pringlei - sadly only hardy to zone 7) in the same
catalog.
Blessings of the Midsummer Season!
