Agastache (Lamiaceae)
This is the genus name for the plant often called anise hyssop (which is neither anise or hyssop). This foeniculum species, which is a North American native, has purple spikes, a clumping habit and is a magnet for pollinators. Prefers a sunny, well drained site, but is very adaptable. Used extensively by the first people of the midwest and plains. Makes a wonderful addition to teas. Cut back flower heads to reduce seeding and promote a second flowering.
