Agastache

Agastache was one of my early seed purchases (I didn't know then that it was a perennial). I didn't know that it would be so generous in providing me with new seedlings, and dutifully collected my own seed after the first flowering season.

I really needn't have bothered. This perennial is almost a nuisance, but the bees like it very much, and it has a fresh smell of aniseed.

The blue variety is my favourite. I have a theory that the stems of the blue seedlings are darker than those of the white variety. This is a well known foxglove theory, still unproven in the Moosey garden!
