Best Plants 2010 - Perennials - Nurseries Online
From Lambley Nursery we have a list of some of the best perennials for 2010. The first is Agastache 'Sweet Lili' - Sweet Lili Humming Bird Mint (pictured).
David and Marcus from Lambley say....
We found this beautiful plant growing in a bed of A. rupestris. It is obviously a hybrid, perhaps between A rupestris and A. cana or A. mexicana. It has all the virtues of the race, tough drought tolerant, long flowering and beautiful, so beautiful I've named it for my granddaughter. Most Agastache are pollinated by humming birds in the wild. A. 'Sweet Lili' is covered, from early summer until winter, with apricot tinted rich pink flowers. 120cm x 60cm. Sun.
