Description

ANISE HYSSOP (Agastache foeniculum) is a fragrant perennial that is a great attractor of birds and bees. Its purple flowers grow on spikes from June to October and produce abundant nectar so it is a good honey plant as well (honey artisans note - it produces a light fragrant honey). It is the foliage which is fragrant and makes a wonderful tea and seasoning with strong anise flavor as its name suggests, but the lavender flowers are also edible and make a pretty garnish for salads and desserts. It is also used in potpourri and perfumes. The seeds are great for baking in cookies, cakes, muffins and scones. A member of the mint family, it will grow 2'-4' (occasionally as high as 6'). Particularly lovely when intersown with daisies and echinacea. Self-sows and is a perennial hardy in zones 6-9. You will receive one plant in a 3-4" nursery pot in the Spring at a time appropriate to your growing zone.

GROWING TIPS: Grows best in full sun but will tolerate some light shade. Careful about the soil - it prefers a neutral pH (6.0-6.5) that is not overly fertilized - in fact, too much nitrogen in the soil will kill it. A light-dependant germinater, so do not cover. Germinates in 2 weeks from direct sow.

SEED GATHERING: Birds love these seeds, so bag the flower heads when almost dry if you want to save.

MEDICINAL: Native Americans used anise hyssop tea to treat fevers, colds and coughs, using the leaf and root. It has also been used traditionally to treat stomach disorders, heat stroke and headaches. Modern study has shown that it stimulates gastric juices and enhances digestion. It also has antifungal properties.

Now Shipping ...

Items listed as "Ships Now" ship within 1-2 business days (non-holiday Monday-Friday). We reserve the option to hold small seed orders when a variety (as noted on the listing as "coming") is not yet in until the order can be filled completely. For larger orders, we ship what is available and back-order the remainder. Live plants ship when weather and your zone permit. By the way, once your order leaves our hands it will be in the hands of the shipping carrier, usually USPS, which is experiencing delays due to high volume. If you have any questions, please email us using the contact link on the website. Thank you!
