PLANT INFORMATION, CULTIVATION AND SEED SPECS
The name Agastache is derived from the Greek for 'many spikes' and these plants do deliver an abundance of beautifully colored scented blooms.  Agastache is a genus of herbaceous perennial plants belonging to the Mint family, Labiata (or Lamiaceae).  Plants are upright with flower spikes in shades from white to pink to purple, some with contrasting bracts. The blooms are very attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. The foliage is aromatic and reminiscent of anise, with the leaves and seeds of some species being used to flavor foods.  The plants make excellent container or bedding plants and prefer a location in full sun.

Propagation is by seed.  FOR TRANSPLANTS:  Sow seed in pots or trays.  Barely cover as light aids in germination.  Keep moist at 65-75F.  Transplant seedlings when they reach 2 inches in height.  Tranplant outdoors when all danger of frost has past.  Space seedlings 12-18inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.  DIRECT SOW:  Sow seed in finely prepared soil in rows 18-24 inches apart. Barely cover.  Plant 3-6 seed every 12 inches.  Thin seedlings to once plant every 12-18 inches.  Cultivate to keep weeds down.

SEED SPECS:   Approximately 90,000 seeds per ounce
