How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
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.

"It arrived in excellent condition and has been thriving since I replanted it. The hummingbirds keep flying around it waiting for the flowers. Very happy with this purchase."
"Planted it in terrible soil, full sun, and it has absolutely thrived with little/no attention. It doesn't droop when I forget to water it, it blooms nonstop and has a gorgeous pop of orange color almost continuously. It's hardy enough that weeds don't seem to bother it; it just keeps on surviving and is going to be a repeat buy for me. I'll be covering my yard in these; the butterflies and bees go nuts for them."
"I purchased two and put them both in pots. One has full sun and very little water. The other gets a 1/5 gallon via dripper every 6 days, and it is a bit shadier. Both are happy, but the one in full sun is bigger. The one in shade with irrigation is smaller, but it iscovered in blooms. They both have been planted for 2 months by now. My only concern is that other reviewers say it is not hardy in zone 5. We have Zone 7 summers and zone 5 winters. Fingers crossed!"
"I planted a number of these last year and they were just beautiful - blooming well into fall! Unfortunately, none of them came back this year. This was surprising considering I didn't lose other plants that push the zone 5 hardiness (e. g. electric blue penstemon also from HCG)."
"This product died within a day along with 3 other plants. I tried to replace 2 of them. 1 was out of stock. The other came in a too short box and was all broken. At that point I said screw it. Don't order anything!"
"I wanted a feathery-textured, orange-colored, med-height plant and this was a great choice. I bought four, and they all bloomed forever, making a gorgeous swath of mellow coral in the bed. They didn't mind our hot, humid summers. Kudos variety are supposedly hardy to zone 5, and they came back happily after two mild winters in Maryland, on the border between zone 7a-b. But this year, after a more normal winter here (nightime temps often in 20s, sometimes colder and two nights were 7 degrees), they have not returned. I am very sad, as I was poised to buy some in pink for another bed…but I'm not interested in perennials that can't survive a typically wimpy mid-Atlantic winter."
"I live in East Texas and it is humid, wet in spring, and hot in summer. I am trying this plant and I used mulch in a mound as directed. I hope it doesn't get waterlogged and survives. Right now it is happy and blooming. Four of the others are blooming also after being in the ground two weeks!"
"Orange flowers are a bit hard to come by so I got a few of these to offset all the purple and pinks in the garden and they are. . . ok. My flowers aren't as bright as in the picture, but the 2 plants that survived (1 died) are nice and full, the leaves are pretty and they are providing food for the pollinators so Im happy."
"This has been growing and blooming well and adds such a pretty melon orange color to the garden. It's doing very well in the hot, dry summer weather too."
"Got them as A DIFFERENT FLOWER TO ATTRACT BEES AND HUMMINGBIRDS. Tired of same plants use. They seem to not get bothered by deer and other varmints. Added some red flowers and they look like fireworks. They were nice for 4th and Iplaced some small USA flags in the large planter I have them in. VERY HAPPY now to try to save them over the winter."
