Anise (Lavender) Hyssop

Agastache foeniculum (Anise Hyssop) is an erect-growing, clump-forming perennial that typically grows to 3.3 ft. This native mint is also known as Lavender Hyssop. Anise Hyssop leaves give off the scent of anise or black licorice whrn crushed. Agastache foeniculum blooms in mid/late summer with blue flowers. Anise Hyssop is native from Wisconsin to eastern Montana, but can be grown in the eastern U.S. Agastache foeniculum naturally occurs in full shade to partial sun in well-drained soils of upland woods and prairies. Anise Hyssop tolerates deer and drought and attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. If a meadow design is not restricted to using locally native species, Agastache foeniculum makes a nice addition to a pollinator-friendly partial shade to full sun upland meadow mix. Anise Hyssop is a member of the mint (Lamiaceae) family. The genus name Agastache is derived from two Greek words which mean very much and ear of wheat, the latter referring to the appearance of the flower spikes. The species name foeniculum is derived from the Latin word for hay.
