Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum)
Anise Hyssop is a hardy, aromatic perennial that produces dense spikes of lavender-purple flowers from mid-summer to early fall. Its finely textured, mint-like leaves release a sweet anise scent when crushed, adding sensory appeal to the garden. A magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, this long-blooming plant provides essential nectar for pollinators while being highly resistant to deer and rabbits. Drought-tolerant and adaptable, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, herb borders, and naturalized plantings.
