Sowing, Seeds, Planting Sow in a heated environment to germinate; prick out and harden off in late spring. Or sow direct in August/September when soil is warm. Protect seedlings through colder months. Plant in a sunny, well drained position to perform well in the border. To aid quick establishment, sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole. Displays are much more effective planted in groups of 3.
Care Tips Agastache prefers sunny free-draining soil but tolerates almost any soil and will cope with dry shade. They do not require extra feeding - this will only encourage leggy growth. The plants will be stronger and more floriferous if you cut back flower stalks as flowers fade. 
Flowering July - October

I bought the seeds as it states that they are tried and tested for quality. 3 seeds out of 30 germinated and have barely grown in size. I have purchased 2 other packets of different seeds and I hope they are more successful in germinating.

Reply from the Sarah Raven Team:

"Sorry to hear of your problems with germinating these seeds. We have sent another pack for you to try."

I am not very experienced at planting seeds . I sewed my seeds quite late in the spring and put the plants in my pots thinking they would not come to much . However they have wonderful colour orange to pink and as they are dying back slightly red . They are like the fringing on denim jackets xxx
