I thought this was my agastache, but I'm not so sure...
Last year I added an agastache foeniculum to my perennial garden- I planted it in late August and it flowered for me soon after and into the fall. This spring I had two plants that came up in the same area, which I assumed were the agastache returning since the plants had square stems and opposite, toothed leaves. Now that we are into July, the plants are taller than me and I am also noticing that the opposite leaves are compound-- so I'm not so sure this is agastache after all. Any ideas who this is?

I'm sure I over watered my brug :( (Any advice)
Comments (3)One other thing, Scott- I was taking note today, in our 88 degree weather and in full sun, which of my brugs were wilting in the sun and which weren't. New Orleans Lady was all wilty. Serendipity and Gemini were all perky. These are just a few examples but it might be helpful if I or someone else makes a list of our observations, to reassure newbies that this is a normal process for some brugs. As soon as the sun went behind the trees, NOL perked right up- you would never know she wilted. Does your brug do the same- perk up after 3, when the shade hits it? And I agree with Karyn, Scott. Relax, let it alone for a day or two. It will survive that much "neglect"!!! If you were close enough, I could give you more brugs, as I am cutting back on my collection. Course, by Fall, I am right back up there!!! ;-) It is so hard to say no to the generous offers of members here but I am getting better. ~Brenda B...See MoreI thought it was a pumpkin but now I'm not sure.
Comments (4)Well, it's some sort of a squash. "Pumpkin" is a somewhat ambiguous term, as all pumpkins are squash, but not all squash are considered to be pumpkins. Since it's round, it might still be considered a pumpkin. Time will tell. From what I can make out in the picture, it's probably from the c. maxima family. Some of these get pretty big. Most have large, fat seeds. George Tahlequah, OK...See MoreI'm not sure where to post this so...
Comments (1)In addition to whatever posters here have to show you, you might also try a google search of images with the words: built in cabinet +window +fireplace There are pages and pages to go through. I found this among them: Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreMy husky destroyed my baby calamondin tree. I’m sobbing I’m so upset.
Comments (10)Oh yes, it will survive and probably come back even bushier than before with a thicker trunk. You'd be surprise how good a tree reacts to a hard cut back, or should I say 'chew' back. Make sure to thank your dog a year from now when it's full in all its glory after keeping it in a very sunny window, in a well draining mix, watered properly kept clean of pests. Without these needs , it will look worst than it does now) Mike...See More

2 years agoUpdate- it's starting to bloom! Agastache or not?
Also, it's about 8' tall by now. At least.

2 years agoI went and looked at my Purple Giant Hyssop and the pubescence is the same as on your plant. I think when they are smaller and younger, they have more hairs. The underside of the leaves is a slighter lighter shade of green than the topside. The undersides of Agastache foeniculum leaves are also a lighter green, and not white like some sources state.

2 years agoSorry for the late response Jay. We have raging fires here, and visibility is less than 1 km so forgive me bad quality pics. I was a little unprecise writing that my Anise Hyssop is 5.5' tall. Right now the one close to the Beebalm is 5' 5" and the other one is 5'11". Will try to get better pics when the outdoor conditions are better.

2 years agoJay 6a Chicago: Windberry, go take a picture of yours with a tape measure, or otherwise I tend not to believe you.
Jay,
Sorry I didn't do it earlier, but here they are, the requested pics of my Anise Hyssop with the tape measure showing how tall the plants are (6 and 1/2 feet). Now I will prune the flower stalks with already ripening seeds and get rid of all the plants but one (I have more of them growing in my edible garden). They are crazy re-seeders.
