It’s an eye-catching addition to any garden, and is particularly striking when paired with coneflowers. Anise hyssop’s height is one of its most appealing qualities, reaching approximately 2 to 4 feet tall with gorgeous 2-to-3-inch long lavender-blue blooms. It’s perhaps not as showy as some other plants, but when it bursts into bloom in mid-to-late summer, its flowers are here to stay until autumn. The Decorative “Wonder Honey Plant”Īnise hyssop sits at the center of horticultural splendor.
According to its website, the IHA strives to select Herbs of the Year that are “outstanding in at least two of the three major categories: medicinal, culinary, or decorative.” The versatile anise hyssop definitely meets these criteria. In 2019, the IHA is spotlighting Agastache foeniculum - more commonly known as anise hyssop - along with the other members of the Agastache genus. Since 1995, the International Herb Association (IHA) has selected an Herb of the Year, and in years past, the organization has highlighted an assortment of beloved plants, including sage, basil, rosemary, and lemon balm. But what’s that tall, attractive plant with the lovely lavender-blue flowers? The one that all the bees are buzzing around? Meet anise hyssop. The late summer garden is a magical place that feels both fleeting and timeless. Is anything better than stepping into the garden in summer? Plants shine at the peak of their mature beauty, flower beds overflow with bushy perennials, and vegetable plants burst with seasonal bounty.
