Kudos Coral Hummingbird Mint
Agastache 'Kudos Coral'Kudos Coral Hummingbird Mint is a compact, long-blooming perennial prized for its vibrant coral flower spikes, fragrant foliage, and exceptional pollinator appeal. From early summer through early fall, abundant flower spikes rise above dense mounds of aromatic green foliage, providing months of color while attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, honey bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Its compact size makes it an outstanding choice for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers.
With its naturally tidy, well-branched habit, Kudos Coral stays upright without becoming floppy, making it easy to incorporate into smaller landscapes. The mint-scented foliage is deer and rabbit-resistant, while the colorful blooms make excellent cut flowers and add warm, tropical tones to sunny garden beds.
Typically growing 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, Kudos Coral is ideal for mass plantings, edging sunny borders, and patio containers. Its outstanding heat and drought tolerance allows it to perform beautifully even during hot, dry summers with very little maintenance.
This perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it requires minimal supplemental watering and performs best in average to lean soils with excellent drainage. Avoid overly wet conditions, especially during winter.
