    I purchased three plugs of this Kudos Agastache from a co-op sale. I potted them up in one-gallon pots until I could figure out where I wanted to plant them. They grew in the pots faster than I expected. I transplanted two out into my flower beds. They settled in very nicely, and like all Agastaches, they are drought tolerant once established. I absolutely love it that they stay short. It is so nice to have an Agastache for the front of the bed. The color is so striking that it makes you stop in your tracks. I am interested to see how they overwinter for me. Even though I am in zone 6, I often lose some of my Agastaches every spring due to dampness from snow melt, despite their location in well-draining raised beds.

    I also purchased three plugs of Kudos Ambrosia, Kudos Gold, and Kudos Mandarin. I thought there would be a clear favorite color-wise, but I really cannot pick one over another. They are all amazing!

    When I saw photos of this gorgeous Agastache, I knew I just had to have it! I bought two plants and recently planted them in one of my flowerbeds. They started blooming recently and I wished I had gotten more of them. The color of the flowers is stunningly beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing them in bloom every year during the summers!

    When I saw the photos of Agastache Kudos™ Coral, I had to have it. I found a mail order source and I'm excitedly waiting for 2 one-gallon pots to arrive in April. After looking at the photos, I think the flowers look gorgeous. A 'must-have' plant.

    I love Agastaches and I love adding more new varieties to my garden every year.
