As a result they may not make it through to the following spring. You don't say in which USDA zone you are located (indicates expected winter low temperatures). But, if you can plant by the end of August, I would recommend 'Blue Fortune', Acapulco 'Orange', Acapulco 'Salmon and Pink' , Agastache foeniculatum and Agastache rupestris. These are the most cold hardy Agastache for late summer planting. Susie:

Is it to late to plant this year, or what is the best time to plant? Does the plant stay green all year? Can I prune to control the height? Also do you know the correct name for fire bush? Thank you so much for your help. Susie I live in KS and am interested in planting agastache. Is it to late to plant this year, or what is the best time to plant? Does the plant stay green all year?
