Debbie, I've got a small trade of Golden Jubilee and Purple Pygmy to trade and then I've got plenty of anise hyssop variety agastache. Please let me know. Thanks, Ann (aba563@aol.com)

Hi,I'm looking for both of these agastaches.Check my list for a possible trade.Debbie

I only grow Agastache foeniculum âÂÂGolden Jubileeâ but it's not only reliably hardy where I am, it generously self-seeds in my garden beds. The Missouri Botanical Garden lists 'Blue Fortune' as hardy to Z5 and I find the information at their website to be pretty accurate (see link). Agastache is in the mint family, as is Monarda/bee balm. Feel the stems--they're square. Mint is generally considered a pretty tough perennial. Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Botanical Garden

Like Jay, I have not had good luck with the orange and red agastaches - they don't survive my winter, although admittedly I haven't tried one again in probably well over 10 years. Agastache foeniculum, on the other hand, is a wonderful, care-free, hardy plant here. I find heucheras to be tricky. I haven't grown them in some time in my own garden because I thought they were finicky, but I do tend a few other gardens and they do okay there. Not great, not horrible. In one of the gardens literally one variety absolutely throve in one spot and twenty feet away the same variety dwindled, even though the only difference was the second one got ten more minutes of sun lol. But you are a zone warmer, so bottom line, if I like something enough to give it a try, I will. With climate change and microclimates, you never know what might or might not work for you. Personally I would start by trying one of each and see how they do. Good luck if you do! :) Dee
