Purple Giant Hyssop

Purple Giant Hyssop (Agastache scrophulariifolia) is a towering, pollinator-friendly native perennial that adds deer resistant grace and ecological value to the summer and fall garden. This 32-plant pack is ideal for naturalistic borders, pollinator gardens, and meadow plantings where height, color, and wildlife support are key.

From mid-summer through fall, this plant produces long plumes of soft purple to white flowers, which attract native bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in droves. Its anise-scented foliage adds a fragrant touch, and the cylindrical seed heads provide visual interest in the winter garden.

Despite its size—often reaching 4 to 6 feet tall—Purple Giant Hyssop rarely flops and remains upright even in rich soils. If a more compact form is desired, it can be cut back in early summer to reduce height.
