Agastache (Anise Hyssop) A lovely plant often found in herb gardens due to its aromatic foliage and spikes of small ed- ible flowers. They are wonderful additions to perennial borders due to their long flowering season as well as their drought and heat toler- ance. All are magnets for bees and butterflies. They require good drainage.

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily) You may be familiar with these exotic flowers in florists' arrangements. The plants are actu- ally great plants for the flower border and large pots. When planted in filtered shade and moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil, they spread freely and put on a superb show. Their azalea- like multicolored 2 inch blooms are borne pro- fusely in clusters atop erect, lily-like stems. In colder areas, heavily mulch the roots or lift the roots in the fall and store them in sand in a cool, damp location.
