Agastache rupestris 'Apache Sunset' new They make an unusual blueNearly big enough 60cm Lovely willowy foliage with pale orange flower. Lovely in a border or rock garden, gravel garden or sand bed. Easy and Hardy. Overwinters with a few shoots at the base of twigs. These twigs, both in summer and winter are very breakable. At least they smell delightful when the snap. Probably better ti brush past them!
