    Agastache 'Kudos Gold' from Terra Nova Nursery is a 2014 introduction. Another exciting and beautiful variety with fabulous gold flowers.

    When I saw the photos of Agastache 'Kudos Gold,' I had to have it. I was so excited to have found a mail order source for it and ordered one. After it started blooming, I knew I should've ordered more. Another "must-have" Agastache! Get it and you'll be happy you did!
