Agastache Kudos Coral * Kudos Coral Hummingbird Mint
Agastache Kudos Coral is another spectacularly colorful Hummingbird Mint. Agastache Kudos Coral can grow to 2 feet tall and wide. The plants are very particular about their soil drainage. They need well drained soil. I often keep them in containers when the soil in the garden is not a perfect match. Heat is not a problem. Regular irrigation also helps a lot. The root crowns need to dry between irrigation cycles. And they rot away quickly in soggy soil. Think sandy gravel on a stream bank well above the water level. The long slender stalks of coral red flowers attract hummingbirds and the roots attract gophers. Care should be taken for the latter. The plants break easily if there is traffic. Regardless of their issues these plants are spectacularly colorful and for a long time if cared for properly.
