Kudos Ambrosia Hummingbird Mint
The flowers on this nonhardy perennial vary in color as they age from cream to orange to a bright rose pink, providing for an ever-changing color palette in the garden. Bred from the hardiest of the species, it still is not able to survive Chicago's winters. Plant 'Kudos Ambrosia' in full sun and in well-drained soil, wherever hummingbird, bee, and moth pollinators are desired. Compounds in the foliage deter rabbits and deer—until they are really hungry.
