Good Qualities

Year 1

Bright pink color (2); Good fragrance, would be a good filler flower; It had a nice odor, Deer don’t eat them, lots of blooms all summer, hope it’s a perennial here.

Problems

Year 1

Strong scent, may not winter over in zone 5; We didn’t care for the washed-out pink color and thought the flower looked “weedy”, we used it as a filler in bouquets, customers not crazy about it either; Scrawny-looking, pretty useless; Too short for most sales.

Insect or Diseases

Year 1

None (3).

Comments

Year 1

Taller would be better, so we’ll see next year; I’ll give them one more chance, if they don’t look better next year, they are outa here, approximately 20% of the plants died by the end of the summer; Not big or bushy but it blooms a lot, Planted into amended, well-drained soil in a high tunnel, numerous plants were broken when unpacked and remaining were not as vigorous as Agastache ‘Summer Sky’.
