This Southwestern native originates from the mountainous regions of southern Arizona and northern Chihuahua, Mexico. It blooms from mid-summer through the fall with numerous spikes of gorgeous or- ange flowers. The thread-like, gray-green leaves give the entire plant a very soft, wispy look. The fragrance of this plant is also wonderful, so place it where you will brush against it when you walk by. Loves well-drained soil with plenty of summer heat. It’s also a must for hummingbird gardens!

Native to the moun- tainous areas of southern New Mexico and western Texas, Agastache cana does well in average garden conditions, mixing well with other late-blooming perennials. It’s cold hardy to -20˚ F and also remark- ably heat tolerant as long as it gets adequate water.

This slow-growing little plant is equally at home in the rock garden or perennial border when used as a groundcover or edging plant. Greek Yarrow is a reliably heavy bloomer, covering itself with bright white clusters of tiny flowers for many weeks in late spring. The dense gray-green foliage is tidy and evergreen (particularly in milder climates), which gives the plant season-long interest.
