We grew these alongside the species this year, and found with the high heat and adequate water and fertilizer they reached the same height in pots.<br /><br />Odd how I keep missing bloom day by a few days... I need to get with it. So... when are you going to send me some Agastache cuttings? I don't have 'Blue Blazes' or 'Ava' yet. ;) I think they need a good Wisconsin trial. I should go find something to post about on my own blog now.Nick Terneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440113002223574303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-57080203210055955942011-08-22T10:37:12.350-07:002011-08-22T10:37:12.350-07:00amazing perennial borders and a great looking hous...amazing perennial borders and a great looking house if I may say so.

Your garden looks great. This is definitely the month for the northern gardeners, the rest of us are frying. I'll be in Portland in a week to escape the aforementioned frying, send me a note if you want to try to meet up. I'd love to stop by and see your garden in person.<br />MelissaHouston Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294237426728774405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-66114102879093314992011-08-21T04:48:06.844-07:002011-08-21T04:48:06.844-07:00Scott, you've managed to achieve such a beauti...Scott, you've managed to achieve such a beautiful spot in your lovely corner of the world. You've created great opportunity for photographs and you are so clever with your camera. Your photos are breathtakingly beautiful.<br />I love seeing the long shots, and how you put things together.<br />Lilium Black Beauty is glorious. I can see why you love them. Wow!<br />Helenium is one I'd love to try. So lovely!<br />Your Agastaches are wonderful. Do you deadhead them? I've spent hours this summer pulling out seedlings of Agastache foeniculum. This fall I'll fastidiously deadhead them! But it's a small price to pay for such a wonderful plant. I love to see the bees enjoying it.<br />The blue Salvias are another favorite of mine. So lovely.<br />You've really given us a great treat with these gorgeous photos of your August gardens, Scott. Thank you! <br />P.S. I'm having the worst time lately getting Blogger to accept my comments other than anonymously. It won't recognize my Google account. Extremely frustrating! I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem.<br />Kerri<br />http://colorsofthegarden.blogspot.comKerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-4590527062102278332011-08-20T20:51:15.264-07:002011-08-20T20:51:15.264-07:00Scott,

I really love it. It looks so lovely with that blue agastache.

I like your verbena - I've grown it from seed and imagine it will self-seed (hopefully) for a better show next year. Thanks for visiting my bloom day post. I also find it interesting to have lupins flowering in Aug. I grew some in pots from seed last year, stuck them in the ground this year (June I think) and they've only now started to flower whereas the established lupins were finished awhile back.

I see you are an agastache fan too. A local nursery has 'Black Adder' available, so I'm going to try that next year. A lot aren't hardy in my area. The 'Blue Fortune is fabulous with the Raspberry Wine monarda.<br />I got a persicaria polymorpha 2 summers ago, a single foot-tall stem in a little pot. This year, it is nearly 5 feet tall and the same around and topped with plumes. Wonderful plant!<br />I've had good luck with a couple of panicums, 'Prairie Sky' and 'Shenandoah'.

I have some small monarda to plant out into our fledgling garden once I've dug them over some space, think I've just found another must-have to add to the collection!
