Agastache aurantiaca 'Apricot Sprite'

I've fallen in love with this flower, we have one at the gardens, it's like a fine orange mist on a spreading bush. The plant has a nice minty smell, reminiscent of catnip but without the attraction to felines. I've tried my two on it and they just wrinkle their noses and look disgusted. There's a specialist nursery near here that may have a plant, or I might ask the gardener if I can have a root. Boy, does that sound rude.
