Description
Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) is a treasured North American native heirloom celebrated for its delightful anise-licorice fragrance and magnificent lavender-purple flower spikes. Rising above dense, bushy mounds of aromatic, heart-shaped green foliage, it blooms continuously from mid-summer through early autumn. Highly prized by tea enthusiasts and herbalists, both the leaves and blossoms yield a naturally sweet, soothing herbal tea. It is also world-renowned as a premier honey plant, magnetizing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the garden.
