Yarrow color Yarrow 'Pink Grapefruit'

Grandmother was a gifted gardener and her out door space was full of Yarrow outlining the peremiter of the vegetable beds around her prized Tea Roses and sprinkled throughout. This was not because it was her favorite cutflower, but because it is a work horse of a companion plant. Naturally it repels some insects and attracts many of the ones you desire like Butterflies and Lady bugs, which love to snack on pesky Aphids and other predatory insects. Placing dried yarrow under door mats is another trick to keep the bugs at bay. We have several different varieties including 'Pink Grapefruit,' 'Strawberry Seduction' and 'Pastel Series.'

Agastache 'Apricot Nectar'

Agastache 'Blue Fortune'

Agastache "Grapefruit Nectar'

We at Garden Supply Co. have gone bonkeroos for Agastache and have a bumper crop. In stock are both the Giant Hyssop and Threadleaf varieties. Agastaches range form 5 feet tall down to 15 inches with the newer compact varieties in the nectar series. With delicious names like 'Apricot Nectar,' and 'Grape Nectar,' this new series are shorter and support the bounty of tubular blooms that provide a long feast for the wildlife. These long showy flowers were still going strong well into the heat of late summer even in their small containers here at the shop last year. The blue, fringy foilage of some varieties provides contrast to large leafy perrenials in a mixed bed.
