Yellow Giant Hyssop

Agastache nepetoides

Yellow Giant Hyssop is renowned for its towering spikes of small, pale yellow flowers that bloom profusely from late summer into fall. Its rough, lance-shaped leaves emit a subtle, pleasant fragrance when crushed. This perennial is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it a valuable addition to any pollinator garden. Its robust stature allows it to serve as an excellent backdrop for lower-growing perennials.
