Description

The Kudos™ Agastache series are hybrid cultivars selected for increased tolerance to moisture and cold. Species native to the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, adapted to tolerate heat and drought, are crossed with Agastache rugosa, a species native to Asia that better tolerates more moisture and colder winters. Kudos™ plants feature the benefits of both species for a more versatile and weather-tolerant Agastache plant. They are more compact and tidy, and feature dense, long-flowering blooms, holding their colorful calyxes even after flowers have faded. The Kudos series exhibits excellent cold hardiness and can be grown across most of the US.

Planting & Care

Tips for growing Agastache

Agastache are sun loving plants with aromatic foliage and flowers. They bloom from mid-summer into early fall and are resistant to rabbits and deer.

Agastache need lean, well-drained soils, prefer gravel mulches, and appreciate deep but infrequent watering after their second growing season

  1. Provide a fast draining soil that's naturally low in fertility, Don't plant into clay soils.
  2. Plant in full hot sun.
  3. Just a few handfuls of compost in the planting hole is enough. Don't plant into a rich, highly amended soil..
  4. Fertilize the Agastache just once in fall with Yum Yum Mix.
  5. New transplants need regular irrigation their first growing season to establish themselves. Watering can be reduced greatly during the second growing season when the plants have matured.

To improve winter-hardiness, and encourage re-seeding, leave the stems intact over the winter. In mid-spring, remove old stems just above the new foliage, about 4 or 5 inches above ground level.

If your conditions don't lend themselves to growing Agastache in your garden, they do well planted in containers.

I'm excited about this plant.

"Since I don't have much space, I'm growing this beautiful Agastache in a container. I've had other Agastache over the years and they have become my favorite perennials."

— Kat (5/5)

Love Agastache

"So far, so good. I love Agastache and am trying to add different varieties to my yard. I gave 4 stars because about 25% of new Agastache don't come back in the spring. #sweepstakes"

Hummingbirds love this plant

"This is a beautiful plant that I bought mainly for the hummingbirds that visit my garden. I stand still when they do visit and I am out there, so as not to scare them away. It is awesome how they go from one flower to the next drinking the nectar. Nothing is a greater sight then watching them enjoying the flowers of this plant. The color of the plant attracts them to it, just love it."

— Woods (5/5)

Hummers Love It!

"Hand-watering gives me opportunities to really enjoy this little agastache. So healthy; loves the sun and heat! The flower colors are pretty and delicate. Suggestion: best as a border plant or grouping of 3."

— Dirt T. (5/5)

Lovely flowers, lovely aroma!

"When you open a box of Agastache from HCG, the leaf-aroma alone makes you love the plant!! I am very happy that these two Agastache are pretty big and healthy …. with a couple of blooms, no less! Since we're expecting 12"" of snow tomorrow, I'm going to wait to plant them …. and will be able to enjoy the fragrance in my house for a few days! 😉"

Colors Just As Pictured

"I ordered 3 Ambrosia Agastache for Spring planting. They're short, ranging from 7 to 9 inches tall. For this first summer of blooms though, I am very happy as they are healthy and thriving. They look nice in front of my Pike's Peak Purple Beardtongue, Red Valerian and Sky Island Orange Hummingbird Trumpet."

— Busybizzybee (5/5)
