Care
Agastache KUDOS™ ‘Coral’ Care
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil for best flowering and long-term performance. Excellent drainage is essential, especially in heavier soils.
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings, as agastache prefers moderately dry conditions.
Apply a balanced slow release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy perennial growth and sustained flowering.
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder climates, cut back stems after frost or in early spring before new growth emerges.
Container Growing Notes
When grown in containers, use a well-draining potting mix and ensure adequate drainage holes. Container-grown plants require more frequent watering during warm weather.
Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
