Our Best In Show Agastache Collection of 5 Hummingbird Mint cultivars introduced by High Country Gardens Founder, David Salman. He was passionate about Agastache plants:
“They have everything I love in a perennial: aromatic flowers and foliage, stunning spikes of tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, they bloom in summer and fall, extending the seasons of color in my xeriscapes, and they are North American native plants.” /p>

Not the best experience

"Pre-ordered this and the other collection. Even though they both said ships the week of May 11th, they shipped over a week before that time. A total of 9 plants were wrapped in plastic then slid inside a cardboard sleeve, all of which were packed in a cardboard box for over a week and driven across the country, then handed to the postal service. Needless to say, what arrived was dry, broken and mostly dead. A few plants looked like they might survive. I don’t understand this shipping practice, but more so, I can’t understand purposely packing something you know isn’t going to make it. Of 9 plants, one was over 9 inches long and broken. One was a bare root, 3 were dwindled up and dry and broken. None were at comparable stages of growth. But what really tans my hide was the arbitrary substitutions. Gardeners order plants based on size and color. I should not have been sent 3 different substitutions all of which were of differing heights and colors than ordered. I’m hopeful that some of these plants will survive but I won’t be shopping here again."

Great for pollinators

"These will bring the pollinators and humming birds to your garden, which makes me very happy."

— MTCO (5/5)

They're All Looking Good

"All plants in the collection arrived in good condition. They started growing as soon as planted, including the one shipped in dormancy. I followed recommendations by planting each on a small mound of soil that I partially amended with cactus mixture for drainage and topped with a light layer of gravel. Surprisingly, Rosita has started flowering already. It's only mid-April! Hoping they continue to thrive when our brutally hot, often drought-filled Central Texas summer arrives."

Agastache

"For some reason none of my plants I planted did not come back in Centennial Colorado. I have grown them in La Veta Co and in Eureka Springs Ar. They always came back . Just can't figure out why . It's got me baffled. I have planted many varieties . My favorite plant for Hummingbirds. Dose any body have any idea why . They are the best plants for hummingbirds."

— Cat (5/5)

Little sprouts did great!

"When these little sprouts arrives I thought there was no chance they'd actually make it, but I was wrong! Every one took root and grew into healthy plants. I planted in a newly made bed that didn't have excellent soil, highly alkaline, and unshaded. They were happy anyway! I added good compost and a bit of fertilizer and they took off! Great stock! I think they'll be even better next year."

— Leah (5/5)

We love our new Hummingbirds.

"We have had the luxury to watch two baby hummingbirds grow in the nest outside our kitchen window. We discovered the nest about three weeks ago in a large blue spruce. Mom visits the agastache plants regularly. My husband and I watch and note their progress daily. What a treat!"

— Jan (5/5)

I'd buy again. All plants survived but two are still small.

"Deer and squirrel resistant, flowering"
