Outsidepride Anise Hyssop - 5000 Seeds
If you want to attract hummingbirds, bees and butterflies to your flower garden, grow Agastache foeniculum. It is commonly referred to as Anise Hyssop, and it is a lovely perennial that has a wonderful anise or licorice-like scent. It is perfect for the cottage garden, herb garden or perennial border. Grow Anise Hyssop in containers on the patio or porch as well. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is usually deer resistant, and once it is established, it does very well in dry climates needing minimal amounts of water. The flower spikes have lavender to purple colored blooms and bloom from mid-summer until fall. The blooms dry nicely and make great additions to floral arrangements. Anise Hyssop reseeds easily and spreads quickly to fill in sparse areas in the garden. Start the seed directly outdoors in either the late fall or early spring. Do not cover the seed but press it tightly into the soil. Space the plants 18 - 24 inches apart.
