About this Plant

Lavender Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) - also called Anise Hyssop - is a fragrant, long-blooming native perennial that combines color, pollinator power, and deer resistance in one graceful package. Ideal for gardens that need season-long blooms and reliable performance in sunny, well-drained spots.

From mid-summer through fall, Lavender Hyssop produces spikes of soft purple flowers that are irresistible to native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. The licorice-scented foliage not only deters deer but can also be used fresh or dried in teas and culinary blends.

This plant is both low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, with a clump-forming, non-aggressive habit that makes it easy to incorporate into borders, pollinator gardens, or prairie-style plantings.

Why Choose Lavender Hyssop?

  • Exceptionally long bloom time – Flowers from mid-summer into fall.
  • Pollinator magnet – Beloved by native bees and butterflies.
  • Deer-resistant & edible – Aromatic foliage for people and protection from deer.

Plant Lavender Hyssop in full sun and well-drained soil, and enjoy a hardy, bee-friendly beauty that adds scent, color, and charm to your native garden.

Maintenance Tips
