These are FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for taking the time/effort to share them. I love both the plants AND the compositions. Great job.

This IS a lovely time of year, isn't it? I've definitely got spring fever myself and your pics only make it worse (better?). :)

Is that pink agastache in the first pick with the rudbeckia? Or maybe pink salvia? Just curious as I've tried agastache a few times over the years and they always melt for me. If it IS agastache, can you share some tips/tricks??

I'm a huge fan of rudbeckia in this climate, and Verbena bonariensis too.

In any case, love every single plant and flower in every single pic! Thanks for sharing them and please keep the eye candy coming.

Take care,
Grant

Hey Grant, thanks for looking :)

You would be correct in assuming agastache :) (Agastache mexicana)

What i found works best with these guys is, planting companion plants around it to help shade the crown and ground around the roots.

In the summer, they don't look their finest but they hang on and even bloom a little as well.

The soil should drain very freely.

I have found certain varieties will not live a long life, if i ever can remember those varieties, I'll be sure to let ya know.

Thanks for the information on the agastache, I appreciate it. I may have to give these puppies another try.

Your garden is absolutely lovely--keep the pictures coming!
Take care,
Grant
