HR1003Agastache foeniculum Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees alike all adore the 3 inch, soft lavender-blue flowers that grace this AAS and Fleuroselect Award winner. The blooms contrast wonderfully with the chartreuse-yellow foliage-especially striking when planted along side red-foliaged plants. The highly aromatic leaves can be used for teas or dried for potpourris, and the flowers can be sprinkled on salads for a dash of color. Also excellent as a cut flower. The 2-4 foot plants bloom July through August. Hardy in zones 6 and above. Germination code: (1)

HR1041Ocimum basilicum In our continual search for better basil varieties, Aroma 1 is by far outstanding. This Genovese-type has the heavenly fragrance and flavor you'd expect in a fine basil with the added bonus of high disease resistance. Aroma 1 is also much more reluctant to go to flower than other varieties. Worthy of inclusion in the choicest pesto recipes. Germination code: (1)
