The TX star did bloom well and this year I got seeds from a DGr for the white TX star. The plants have spent the summer getting established but I don't think I'll see blooms. Maybe next year...

The Agastache I have tried this year are A. Blue Fortune, A. Black Adder, A. Raspberry Summer and A. Firebird. The Firebird crashed and burned right away. The Raspberry has meager blooms and looks rather like a Salvia.

You are far enough to the west, you might look thru the High Country Gardens inventory of Agastache. They will have some listed that do better with less humidity. http://www.highcountrygardens.com/catalog/browse/xeriscape-p... Oh, oh! Now I'm in trouble, I should not have looked for that link!
And by the way, butterflies are charmed with it too... 8 ))

This is a new one for me... again shared by a sweet DGr ~ one of two different Rock Rose ~ Pavonia. It did well enough that I am surprised I've not seen it much in east TX.
