I am still in the process of figuring out how tall the plants I've planted get (in real life - not just in writings) I've found some stuff to get a foot or two taller than claimed by catalogs or on the PlantFiles - while others have been shorter. Plus the way the plants look before and after they bloom and what time they bloom is all stuff I'm finding out as I go. So I find myself constantly wanting to change things. I keep telling myself -I haven't had much time at it and it will be right someday. Lol
Here is an example: These agastache got huge! I have them in front of coneflowers - so from the side of the garden I see - I couldn't even see the coneflowers. My neighbor had a better view than me - lol. That's on my list of things to fix. But my dilemma is the agastache might be biennial so they might be much smaller this year. So I still have to wait and see what to do. : )
