Agastache foeniculum

Queen Nectarine Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) is a perennial herb known for its aromatic foliage and spikes of purple-blue flowers. It typically grows 2 to 4 feet tall and forms upright clumps, making it a striking addition to gardens. This plant thrives in full sun but can tolerate up to 20% shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires minimal watering, though it benefits from regular moisture during its initial growth period. Queen Nectarine Anise Hyssop is also deer resistant and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
