Agastache 'Kudos Coral'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists agastache 'kudos coral' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Agastache is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic/Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. As an aromatic member of the mint family (Lamiaceae), large ingestions of the essential-oil-rich foliage may cause mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhoea) in cats and dogs.
