Description
The Agastache 'Kudos Gold' is part of a series of recent hybrids, selected by an American nursery for their floribundity and increased hardiness. This variety blooms tirelessly during a long summer period with upright and dense spikes, adorned with small pale orange and very bright golden flowers. It forms a compact and leafy clump that is pleasantly aromatic when crushed. Robust, relatively hardy, particularly healthy, not demanding, this perennial that combines qualities brings a touch of luxuriance to unpretentious borders. It thrives in the sun, even in cool climates, in well-drained soil that is not too dry to support its beautiful flowering.
The hybrid Agastache 'Kudos Gold' is a plant from the mint family, related to salvias, catmints and thymes. This herbaceous perennial, relatively hardy for an agastache, forms a dense, upright clump with highly branched stems, reaching a height of 50 cm (20in) and a width of the same, depending on growing conditions, which gives it a more bushy and compact habit than other agastaches. It produces triangular leaves that are 5 cm (2in) long, with toothed edges, dark green, which grow along the length of the angular floral stems. When crushed, they release a complex scent of mint, mixed with licorice and honey. The flowering period extends from May-June to September, without interruption, in the form of upright, colourful and slender spikes. Each small tubular flower, very pale yellow-orange, is surrounded at the base by brown to salmon bracts. This flowering, particularly rich in nectar and attractive to bees and butterflies, attracts a large number of bees and butterflies. This cultivar, 'Kudos Gold', like all the agastaches in the Kudos series, is also distinguished by its good resistance to mildew, even in humid climates.
Easy to grow in well-drained soil, Agastache 'Kudos Gold' can be cultivated in sunny borders with a slightly wild appearance, but also in pots on the terrace. In hot regions, it should never lack water during flowering. A worry-free perennial, it adds height and substance to borders composed of grasses (such as stipas, eragrostis, pennisetums), herbaceous salvias, tall daisies, echinaceas, goldenrods, and asters. It also pairs very well with white, yellow, or orange shrubby potentillas, for example.
The flowers and highly aromatic leaves of Agastache are edible and delicious in salads or fish dishes.

Planting and care
Agastache 'Kudos Gold' is a plant that dreads heavy and waterlogged soils in winter. In heavy soil, dig a hole 30 cm (12in) in all directions, pour in pure sand and install the seedling without adding any soil. This plant requires a sunny and sheltered exposure from severe frost. During very harsh winters, cover the stumps with straw or dead leaves to form a thick mulch. The soil that welcomes it must be fertile, loose, well-drained but rather moist to support flowering. The plant can tolerate periods of transient drought, which nevertheless harm flowering. Its foliage is resistant to diseases that often affect the foliage of agastaches, such as mildew.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
