Looking for some great long flowering perennials, that bring the butterflies then consider some great Agastache or Echinacea. Agastache have a sweet scent that is a magnet for beautiful butterflies and the colors really make your garden come to life. We have 6 of the newer type of Echinacea this year, with beautiful, large cones that always seems to have hungry butterlies enjoying some nectar on them. The new echinaceas come in a wide variety of colors and the double flowers are very stunning.
Agastache Blue Boa Unlike any other Agastache, this beauty produces luxurious, deep violet flower spikes held over ultr-green foliage. The flower spikes are long, wide, and extremely showy. It’s a great perennial color spot for summer bloom. It’s drought tolerant once established and attracts hummingbirds as well as butterflies. |

Agastache Kudos Coral Amazingly free flowering and easy to grow, Kudos Coral has an impeccable habit and long lasting, glowing color. Warm, coral colored plumes are dense with a sweet honey-mint scent.
|
Agastache Kudos Yellow Large, dense inflorescences of yellow flowers adorn this wonderfully compact Agastache. Like the others in the Kudos series this plant is hardy to zone 5 and is naturally resistant to downy mildew |

Cranberry Cupcake Echinacea Double, cranberry-colored flowers on a cupcake of a plant, Cranberry Cupcake is short and wide and makes the perfect size garden plant. |
Fragrant Angel Echinacea With large, fragrant flowers layered with overlapping horizontal white petals and huge yellow cones. |
|
Hot Lava Wide petals of deep orange-red tint to deper red at the base of the magma-orange cone. Extra petals give the flowers a fuller look and the super-strong stems make it a natural for cut flowers. |
Pink Poodle Echinacea Large, fluffly, double, 4″ wide, bright pink flowers with strong, well-branched stems to 32″ tall showing excellent plant vigor. |
|
Supreme Cantaloupe Echinacea Absolutely the color of a ripe cantaloupe! Young flowers look like a brown eyed, double Gerbera and are an excellent cut flower. As the flowers expand, they take on a more Echinacea-like look and last and last. There is no other Echinacea like this on the market. |
Supreme Flamingo Echinacea Very rich, coral and shrimp-pink colors combine for a most unbelievable flower. Fully, double with complementary ray petals of rosy copper, makes Supreme Flamingo a garden beacon, matching perfectly with the other Echinacea Supremes. |
