Agastache foeniculum -- (Anise Hyssop)


 Show all known sources of Seeds



Native to North America, Anise Hyssop is a perennial herb that is known for its anise scented foliage. It has violet colored flowers that bloom in July. This is an excellent butterfly, bee and hummingbird plant. It is even enjoyed by the large black and yellow bumble bees. This is certainly one of my favorite plants because of its aroma, long-lasting flowers, and the structure of the seed head in the winter garden.
