Agastache aurantiaca

Really beautiful plant! I love the flowers!

They are a lovely genus Delonix.

It appears so. I would guess it should do well here.

They're pretty drought tolerant but I'm not sure if that means that they're SoCal drought tolerant!

Yes, we take drought tolerance to a whole new level here.

If we had the so called "droughts" you get in the UK. We would be happy! Remember: our dry season is very long, typically April through most of November or longer...and our droughts last for years. Our normal rainfall is very low, also...only 9 inches (228 mm) per year. We've only been getting about 50 to 60 percent of normal rainfall for several years.

Yup, that's what I call a drought!

Yes, the drought has been at historic extreme levels in southern California. So many trees (millions) are dying from this extreme drought! It's very sad because I've lost so many plants! :>((
