Nell, you ...Samantha, I hope it does well for us. <br /><br />Nell, you can always use more pink flowers. The bees and butterflies love my other agastaches. <br /><br />Thanks Nancy. I can't wait until planting out time. It's been a long winter so far. <br /><br />Scott, I grew yarrow from seed last year. Only one plant survived and it's still green out in the garden. The trick, I think, is to give them good drainage and some shade in our heat and humidity.<br /><br />LD, they like to turn black in the middle of summer here, but the foliage begins to regrow as soon as it cools down. I'm going to try planting these in a better spot with lots more drainage, but a little shade in the afternoon. <br /><br />Darla, I have other four o'clocks and i love the smell. I hope these are as nice as the picture on the package. I've got a bed on the North side of the house that needs something. These will go there. It's shaded most of the year and day during the summer, but our heat will keep these growing without a lot of wilting, I hope.<br /><br />Betty, I won't sow any of these until much later except the achillea. It will be done in my next batch, as soon as I get more containers.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-56146988489733071692010-01-28T04:30:10.031-05:002010-01-28T04:30:10.031-05:00Are you going to WS those seeds now?

It will be interesting to see how they do in the warmer climate. They have such a lacey folige, almost weed-like at first, but they are really strong with their color. I photograph my pink one in so many stages as it is so neat.L.
