Kudos Red, also known as Hummingbird Mint or Hyssop, is a hybrid Terra Nova Nurseries developed as a genetically dwarfed Agastache with no need for growth regulators. This variety is also super-hardy and extremely downy mildew resistant. Kudos offers an upright bushy habit of 20-27" tall and 12-24" wide. Honey-mint scented red flower spikes bloom from June through September. Kudos Red brings a striking pop of long-lasting perennial color to containers, borders, and landscape beds. Hardy in zone 5-10, Agastache is deer resistant and attracts bees and butterflies. For color variety, grow Red alongside Mandarin.
Sell Kudos Red to customers looking for a low-maintenance perennial flower to attract pollinators to the landscape. Homeowners often look for attractive perennials for borders or cottage gardens that won't add to the outdoor workload. Kudos offers many benefits, including a compact habit, superior downy mildew resistance, a pleasant aroma, and a long bloom season. Pair this variety in borders or containers with Nepeta, Coreopsis, Liatris, and Sage.
Coach Your Customer:
1. Space plants 18" apart in full sun in well-drained soil. Agastache may develop root rot in soils that are too moist. Use gravel at the bottom of your planting hole to provide additional drainage, especially for overwintering.
2. Water regularly, especially during the first year, for a healthy root system.
3. Cut back to 3-4" tall in spring.
To achieve the best results with Kudos Red, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, and light feed (100-150 ppm). Pinch once at transplant. You may see spider mites or whiteflies. Root rot and downy mildew can be a problem in poorly draining soil or wet conditions. This variety offers superior disease resistance.

Agastache is not prone to disease. Avoid root rot by planting in well-drained soil. Watch for rust, which may be indicated by yellowed and withering leaves. Rust should be treated by immediately removing the affected plant parts. For a rust infestation that continues to return, a preventative fungicide may be used when new growth begins in spring. Prevent rust from spreading by removing all diseased debris at the end of the season. Powdery mildew may also affect Agastache, but is unlikely to cause the plant to die. This fungus causes a grayish powder on the surface of leaves, and can be treated by removing affected plant parts and using a preventative fungicide.
Prevent fungus and mildew infection by watering at the base of each plant in the morning, providing adequate airflow in your greenhouse, and allowing sunlight to penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
