'Kudos Yellow'
giant hyssop
Agastache 'Kudos Yellow' brings a splash of sunshine wherever it grows—an instant mood-lifter for borders, pots, and pollinators alike. Compact and upright, this cheerful perennial produces elegant spires of golden-yellow, two-lipped flowers that gleam from early summer until well into autumn. Each spike is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making Agastache 'Kudos Yellow' as lively as it is lovely. The aromatic green foliage adds a subtle herbal fragrance to the air, especially when brushed on warm afternoons, lending the garden a Mediterranean hint of summer ease.
While its blooms glow like liquid gold, Agastache 'Kudos Yellow' is delightfully unfussy beneath the surface—thriving in sunshine, coping admirably with drought, and shrugging off pests without complaint. It forms a tidy, bushy mound that’s equally at home in a cottage border or a sleek modern planter, blending beautifully with purple salvias, airy grasses, and coral-toned echinaceas. Agastache 'Kudos Yellow' keeps flowering long after others fade, bringing warmth, scent, and soft movement to even the driest corners of the garden. Simply give it well-drained soil and a sunny spot, and this golden yellow giant hyssop will reward you with a glowing display that feels more endless summer than fleeting moment—a quietly brilliant performer with a bright, enduring spirit.

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.
