It can be propagated by division however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water.

This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen! As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring.
It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 6 years. Kudos™ Mandarin Hyssop will grow to be about 17 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 16 inches. Kudos™ Mandarin Hyssop is recommended for the following landscape applications It has no significant negative characteristics. It is a good choice for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. Kudos™ Mandarin Hyssop is an open herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its attractive fragrant narrow leaves emerge coppery-bronze in spring, turning grayish green in color throughout the season. Kudos™ Mandarin Hyssop features airy spikes of lightly-scented orange tubular flowers rising above the foliage from early summer to early fall.
#Agastache kudos series#
This series was developed by Janet Egger of Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon, who has developed a wide range of fine perennials in recent years.Īll the plants in the Kudos Series enjoy full sun and are happy in borders or in pots.Other Names: Anise Hyssop, Licorice Mint, Hummingbird MintĮasy to grow perennial flowers on airy spikes add lovely texture to any garden rich mandarin orange color a favorite for native butterflies and hummingbirds aromatic, licorice scented foliage for a fragrant garden ‘Kudos Gold’ has dark orange buds that open to paler orange-gold and be found in one or two outlets, ‘Kudos Yellow’, with yellow buds and flowers, is not yet available in Britain. They flower from June to September, four varieties are available by mail order: ‘Kudos Ambrosia’ has orange buds that open to pink ‘Kudos Coral’ has coral red flowers that mature to coral pink ‘Kudos Mandarin’ has fiery orange buds opening to paler orange flowers and Agastache ‘Kudos Silver Blue’ has pale blue buds and flowers. They’re also resistant to downy mildew and are amongst the best of all hardy perennials for attracting pollinating insects. Reaching about 50cm (20in) in height when in full flower, and branching well from the base, the plants are hardier than previous varieties of this type and, perhaps more importantly, are more tolerant of cold, wet winter soil. More recently the focus has turned to the shorter, more drought-tolerant types derived from species native to California and Mexico, with large flowers often in fiery shades.īoth groups give us colourful spikes of flowers and aromatic foliage, but it is in this second group that most of the development is now taking place: extending the range of colours and increasing the hardiness and drought tolerance being the main targets of the plant breeders. You can see them in the Piet Oudolf-inspired borders at RHS Garden Wisley. At first it was those varieties popularised by garden designer Piet Oudolf, the tall hardy perennial types from Asia and northern parts of North America, most often with blue and purple flowers.
