Kudos Red Agastache (Agastache hybrid ‘Kudos Red’, PP #30,375) is a compact hummingbird mint that packs big summer color into a tidy, easy-care perennial. Bright red flower spikes rise above fresh green foliage from spring through summer, adding long-lasting color to sunny borders, waterwise beds, and container gardens. Bred for an impeccable habit and improved resilience, this fast-growing selection brings stronger hardiness and better disease resistance than older types—plus it handles wet, cold soils more reliably. Plant it in full sun with well-drained soil, let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and enjoy months of pollinator-friendly blooms that also make excellent cut flowers.
Plant Description
A prolific, compact agastache with an upright, well-branched form and vivid red flower spikes. Designed for dependable performance in gardens and containers with improved toughness.
Bloom Time & Flower Color
Blooming from spring into summer, the showy red flower spikes add bright, cheerful color and can be clipped for fresh arrangements.
Habit & Mature Size
Quickly reaches about 17–20 inches tall and about 16 inches wide, forming a compact, upright clump that stays tidy without constant pruning.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun is best for strong stems, dense growth, and maximum flowering. Great for hot, bright sites and open borders.
Watering
Allow soil to dry slightly before watering. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce frequency once established. Water more often during peak bloom for best flower production.
Soil & Drainage
Provide coarse soil with excellent drainage. While this selection is more tolerant of wet, cold soils than many agastache, good drainage still supports the healthiest overwintering and strongest growth.
Hardiness
Hardy in USDA Zones 5–10. An herbaceous perennial that returns each year in suitable climates.
Pollinators & Wildlife
Attracts hummingbirds and pollinators, bringing lively garden activity through the bloom season. Deer resistance makes it a reliable option for many landscapes.
Waterwise & Coastal Performance
Waterwise once established and noted for drought tolerance in coastal regions. Ideal for low-water borders and sunny, well-drained planting schemes.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Clip spent blooms to keep plants tidy and encourage continuous flowering. Hard prune and feed before new growth begins in spring for a fresh, vigorous restart.
Container Tips
Use a fast-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes. Water when the mix becomes slightly dry, and place in full sun for the best flower show.
Cut Flower Tips
Harvest flower spikes when a portion of the florets have opened. Regular cutting doubles as deadheading and helps keep blooms coming.
