Common Name:

Scientific Name:
Agastache foeniculum
|
Taste and Aroma
sweet anise-like flavor

General Description
Anise Hyssop is useful both in flower and herb gardens. Its aromatic properties were known to the North American Indians, who used the leaves as a cough medicine. It has also been a popular bee plant, yielding a fine, mildly anise-tasting honey. Agastaches are easily grown and make dense, leafy borders and hedges. The flower spikes can be cut for summer bouquets and dried for winter arrangements. The fresh green leaves are decorative in salads and floating on drinks and summery bowls. I start agastaches in the greenhouse in the beginning of May and plant them out a month later. Flowering starts even in unfavorable summers in late July and continues until late autumn. The plants self-seed in the garden and usually overwinter well.
