Thank you @VictorMeldrew 😊 l love your Agastache "Blue Boa", such a lovely colour .
@Songbird-1, l think the secret is to keep it well watered. It's planted into very heavy soil and gets very little natural rainfall. There are pots of hosts along the base. When l wash my pots l chuck the trugful of dirty water along the area and it sometimes gets a feed of tomato food or seaweed food if l remember, but that's probably every 5 to 6 weeks or so. Maybe because it's growing through a trellis it gets better air flow, that might help.
@Eustace Thanks for posting. Any idea which cultivar your Lavatera is (last pic)? I have L. x clementii ‘Barnsley’, which is a very pale pink like yours.
