Agastache × 'Kudos Red' (Hummingbird Mint 'Kudos Red') is a compact, well-branched perennial that delivers vivid red flower spikes for a long season. You get a tidy, mounded plant with aromatic, mint-scented foliage that looks fresh and full even in smaller spaces.

Plant it where it can soak up sun for the best color and strongest bloom display. Full sun is ideal; in hotter climates you can give it light afternoon shade to help it stay lush while still flowering well. Expect a mature height of about 10-14 inches, with a fuller spread around 22-28 inches, making it a great choice for the front of beds or along sunny paths.

Give it well-drained soil and avoid spots that stay wet, especially in winter. Water to establish, then let the soil dry slightly between waterings; consistently soggy conditions can shorten its life. A light mulch can help even out soil moisture, but keep the crown from staying buried and damp.

For a longer show, trim spent flower spikes to encourage fresh flushes and keep the plant looking neat. In cold regions, wait to cut it back until you see new growth in spring, or lightly tidy it after the hardest frosts. It is generally grown as an herbaceous perennial in USDA zones 6-10.

Use this hummingbird mint to add bold, warm-season color and to draw pollinators. The tubular flowers are especially attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, and the fragrant foliage adds extra garden interest when you brush past it.
