Agastache
'Kudos Mandarin'
giant hyssop
Agastache 'Kudos Mandarin' brings a splash of citrus warmth to the garden—zesty, uplifting and impossible to overlook. This compact, upright perennial is a master of both colour and fragrance, producing spikes of tubular, mandarin-orange flowers that hum with life from early summer right through to autumn. The blooms are rich in nectar and adored by bees, butterflies and other pollinators, ensuring your borders stay buzzing with activity for months. Below the bright display, the aromatic green foliage gives off a subtle herbal scent when brushed, making Agastache 'Kudos Mandarin' just as appealing to gardeners as it is to wildlife.
Tough yet tidy, this giant hyssop handles heat and dry conditions with ease, keeping its composure long after others have wilted. Agastache 'Kudos Mandarin' forms a neat mound that fits beautifully into mixed borders, gravel gardens and patio pots, pairing perfectly with blues, purples and soft silvers. As summer deepens, its colour intensifies, glowing like embers in the evening light. Few plants balance vibrancy and resilience so effortlessly—Agastache 'Kudos Mandarin' does it with style. If your garden could use a touch of late-season spice, this radiant perennial delivers it in abundance, without ever demanding more than a little sunshine and a well-drained spot to shine.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
