Product Description
Fragrant Blooms
Anise hyssop is known for having a strong and pleasant scent. It does well in planters and containers near the home where the fragrance can be enjoyed.
Anise Hyssop (Agastache Foeniculum)
These lovely flowering perennial herbs have a delightful scent that will attract both pollinators and people! Despite the common name of anise hyssop, this plant is not closely related to either anise or hyssop. Anise hyssop is a member of the mint family, and is native to the dry prairies of the Midwest and Great Plains.
This plant has a clump-forming habit and will grow upright to a height of 2-4 feet. This is a rhizomatous plant, meaning that it can spread via rootstalks underground. The herbal function of anise hyssop is found primarily in its leaves: the licorice-like fragrance of the leaves leads to their use in herbal teas or consumed fresh in salads. The ideal time to harvest the leaves is shortly after the flowers have reached full bloom: this is when the leaves have the most concentrated oil.
Delightful Garden Herb
How To Grow
Anise hyssop seeds can be sown directly outdoors in the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
This herb prefers a fertile, sunny location with soil that drains well. When sowing, press the seeds into the soil, but do not cover. Keep the seeds moist until germination, which will occur in 14-21 days.
Anise hyssop plants do well in dry climates. Once established, minimal watering is required. In zones 4 and 5, winter these plants dry and use a dry mulch.

Pretty sure most of my seeds were duds :(
Out of the whole package only one seed has sprouted and I don't know how well it's going to do. I'd really really hope that it'll survive but as you can see right now it's just looking a little ehh. I followed the instructions and after a little bit of the time had passed when they were supposed to germinate I decided to cover with a very light bit of soil and that is what popped up. I'm hoping more will decide to grow, it's too early to say.
