Agastache Tutti Frutti

[Southern Gardener]

Does anyone know where I can find seeds for this herb? I've looked in a couple of seed catalogs I have and on-line, but they only offer established plants. I'd like to ad this to my herb garden this year.

It is not inconcievable that it does not come true from seed. OTOH I think most agastaches do, so, I dunno. Hopefully someone else here can help.

But if you can't find it, may I put in a plug for Agastache 'Apricot Sprite'. Greyish foliage, small and sort of pale coral pink (ish) flowers coming from purplish calyces, mine has survived considerable neglect and lack of watering and cold winters. The best part is that the leaves (basal ones sort of triangular, but most of them thin and needlelike) smell like a combination of licorice and rootbeer. Mmmmmmm Thompson and Morgan has seeds.

Good luck with Tutti-Frutti though,

Pat

Have you tried Juno or Henry Fields?

I'm pretty sure Tutti Frutti is vegetatively propagated only (via cuttings). I think I have it out in my garden, if it makes it over the winter I'll see if I can root some cuttings.

Reinbeau,

Thanks so much - that's very kind of you!

Grow 4 food - no, I haven't check those - my job is getting in the way of my spring planning today!

Henry Fields doesn't have a good rep.

Not familiar with the other one.

Agastache is a drought tolerant hummingbird plant - So I want one, so I will be watching.....
