Fingers crossed for Agastache! I've planted the orange hummingbird hybrids but have given up on them being reliably hardy.


Later I'll post a photo of an Artimesia plant that I purchased at a garden club plant sale. The leaves on the purchased plant terminate in a square shape, and have a sharp angular tooth. The nearly dead sample I have of the plant in the photo has more of a rounded end and is smooth. Stay tuned!
