About this Plant
Kudos Coral Hyssop (Agastache 'Kudos Coral') is a vivid, heat-loving perennial that delivers an extraordinary season-long floral performance in shades of warm coral-orange and soft pink. Dense, upright flower spikes rise above compact, aromatic foliage from early summer straight through to the first frost — an exceptionally long bloom period that few perennials can match. The fragrant, tubular flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making this plant an essential addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
Grown from Professional Grade root systems, Kudos Coral Agastache is as practical as it is beautiful. Its compact, well-branched habit never flops or requires staking, and its aromatic licorice-scented foliage is naturally deer-resistant. This adaptable performer excels in full sun borders, mixed cottage-style plantings, dry garden designs, and large container arrangements on sunny patios and terraces. Heat-tolerant and drought-smart once established, it is a top-tier choice for low-water, high-impact garden design.
