Product description

Kudos Coral Anise Hyssop | Agastache ‘Kudos Coral’ | Kudos Coral Hummingbird Mint | Agastache x ‘Kudos Coral’ Kudos Coral Anise Hyssop is a stunning, sun-loving herbaceous perennial prized for its spectacular, continuous profusion of dense, warmly colored coral-pink flower plumes that bloom prolifically from early summer well into the fall. This exceptionally tough, heat-tolerant selection is known for its remarkable, naturally compact, mounding habit and finely textured, highly aromatic green foliage that releases a sweet licorice-mint scent. Its intensely nectar-rich blossoms are an absolute magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance thriller for sunny landscape borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed patio containers. With its bold, vibrant color and reliable performance through challenging heat, humidity, and dry conditions, Kudos Coral offers an extraordinary display of lush summer blooms with exceptionally straightforward care. Growing Kudos Coral Anise Hyssop Light: Full sun; thrives in bright, direct sunlight (at least 6 to 8 hours per day) to produce the most abundant blooms, the strongest stems, and maintain a tight, compact form. Too much shade will cause the plant to become leggy and significantly reduce flowering. Soil: Light, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to poor, rocky, or average soils as long as drainage is excellent. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged clay, especially during the cold, wet winter months. Water: Low to moderate; water regularly until established, then allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant once mature and strongly dislikes consistently wet feet. Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Deadhead spent flower spikes promptly to encourage a continuous, prolific second flush of blooms throughout the season. Leave the old foliage standing through winter to help protect the crown from cold weather, then shear it back to the basal rosette in early spring just before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy appearance. Wildlife: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds; naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant due to its strongly aromatic foliage. Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 5–9; exceptionally cold-hardy and reliable across a wide range of climates provided it has excellent winter drainage.
