    Agastache Kudos™ Red is the newest Agastache in the Kudos series. Like the others in the Kudos series, it was bred to be a Dwarf Hummingbird Mint. A Terra Nova Nurseries introduction and a very exciting and desirable one. It's a red flowering Agastache! I'm looking forward for it becoming available to grow, whether in my garden in a container, in the ground or both.

    I have a gallon size pot coming from Romence Gardens in my 2019 spring order.
