Anise Hyssop | Agastache foeniculum
This native hyssop is also known as lavender hyssop. The flower stalks bloom in shades of light purple and blue throughout most of the growing season, from June all the way through September. This means that their nectar and pollen provide a steady supply of food for hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and more. The leaves are incredibly fragrant—they have an aroma of anise or licorice, and they can be used to make herbal teas and traditional remedies.
Anise hyssop is also drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance, easy-to-grow native perennial for your garden or landscape.
