Anise Hyssop is a native North American perennial herb in the mint family, often found in prairies and dry uplands, known for its licorice-like scent. The plants feature spikes of small, purple-blue flowers that bloom from summer to fall, drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds as key pollinators. Grows 2-4 feet tall with aromatic, toothed leaves that can be brewed into a sweet, anise-flavored tea or used as a culinary seasoning.

They can even be sown by the masses in a naturalized setting, or anywhere you'd like to add some color. Anise Hyssop is also greatly used in pots & containers as well.
