Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Ann Leonard | Jul 25, 2005 | How do you propagate the Blue Fortune Agastache? I planted one last year and I'd love to share it with friends. One problem I have had is it's become so large that it's falling over. I need to try to either stake it back or prune it. The bees love it, too.
I haven't tried to propagate it yet, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it referred to as a self-seeder. I must not take very good care of it, because it doesn't get tall enough to flop for me... |
| Maggy | Sep 08, 2005 | The real Agastache 'Blue Fortune' is a sterile hybrid, so it will not self- seed. You can propagate it by division or by cuttings taken before flowering. Sterility was the reason for its selection, because self-seeding can be a big problem with some Agastache. Sterility also increases the flowering time.
Thanks Maggy! I'm pretty sure my plant (from a local plant swap) was a seedling, so its probably not the real thing. |
