Anise Hyssop
Other Anise Hyssop Agastache foeniculum
Anise Hyssop makes a bold garden accent, with its tall spides of purple flowers which attract bees and from which they make a fine mild honey. The anise-scented leaves are dried for tea and potpourri. They were used by Northern Plains Indians for a sweetener and they are a staple in Cree medicine bundles. The roots were used by Chippewas for coughs and respiratory ailments.
