Bring your camera and be prepared to experience guests in the garden. Pollinators abound in our healthy gardens because many of our waterwise plants attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. See how our High Country Gardens plants mature to create beautiful, waterwise gardens with healthy, organic soil.

"A stroll through the nursery's demonstration garden brings the HCG catalog to life. Luxurious swaths of lavender, salvia, penstemon, coreopsis, agastache and ornamental grasses prove that a xeriscape garden doesn't have to look sparse or dry."
--Amy Stewart, San Francisco Chronicle

Agastache: Our most Popular Plants!

You can't help but notice the Agastache plants (Hummingbird Mint or Hyssop) flourishing in our demonstration gardens. A favorite of our President and Founder, David Salman, Agastache are a showy, fragrant group of perennial herbs. The greatest concentration of Agastache species is found in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico, with the remaining species found scattered across the U.S., Europe and Asia. All of them have nectar rich flowers.

The orange and pink-flowered ones are highly attractive to hummingbirds, while the blue-flowered ones are a favorite of butterflies and bees. If you grow lavender and penstemon successfully, you will enjoy growing Agastache as well.
