More blooms per plant than other gomphrenas plus its unique “scaffolding” habit give Fireworks the exceptional flower power that makes it sparkle at retail, then explode with color in landscapes and containers. The vigorous, “tough as nails” plants are topped by long-lasting, intense hot pink flowers tipped with bright yellow. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance Fireworks resists weather damage and provides an attractive architectural element for the landscape. Easy to produce on the bench, Fireworks stays compact as a plug. Well-suited to high-margin gallon programs. 2010 Mississippi Medallion Award winner.

Family: Lamiaceae (lay-mee-AY-see-ee)
Genus: Agastache (ah-gas-TAH-kee)

Lovers of heat, these tough and drought resistant Mint family relatives guarantee terminal spikes adorned with brightly colored, tubular flowers just about all summer long. Agastaches are easily grown in well drained soils, and will bloom more profusely, over an even longer period of time, if the flowering stems are cut back in mid-season.

This drought tolerant bushy perennial is prized for its more manageable compact habit. With erect stems tinged a dusty grape, wine-purple calyxes, deep peachy orange flowers, and mint-scented triangular green leaves sporting silvery undersides, the stunning shades of an evening sky will light up your garden all day long. Easy-to-grow ‘Apricot Sprite’.
