Agastache × 'Kudos Mandarin' (Giant Hyssop 'Kudos Mandarin') brings bright, orange flower spikes to your garden for a long summer show, with aromatic foliage and a compact, tidy habit that fits easily into beds and containers.
Place it where you can enjoy the activity: hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators are drawn to the tubular blooms. You will get the best flowering and strongest stems in full sun, but it can also grow in part shade, especially where afternoons are hot. Mature size is typically about 17-20 inches tall with a naturally neat, mounded-upright form.
For easiest success, plant in well-drained soil and avoid soggy spots. Water regularly while it establishes, then let the top of the soil dry slightly between waterings. A light mulch helps even out moisture, but keep mulch back from the crown. Rich soil and heavy feeding are not required; too much fertilizer can reduce bloom and make growth floppy.
Deadhead spent spikes to keep it looking fresh and encourage more flowers. Leave stems in place going into winter for a little extra crown protection, then cut back in spring once new growth appears. Pair it with other sun-loving perennials and grasses for a season-long display of color and pollinator movement.
