Lavender Hyssop
Agastache foeniculum
Lavender hyssop has many standout traits that make it a great addition to any native garden. Incredibly long-blooming, its purple flowers bloom from mid-summer through fall. It's a top pollinator plant that attracts droves of native bees. The licorice-scented foliage is edible and deters deer. Lavender hyssop can handle drought once established and is well-behaved in the garden.
