Agastache foeniculum
Anise Hyssop has strong square stems (a signature feature of the mint family) that are topped with flower spikes, each containing dozens of smaller lavender little flowers that blossom at different times making for a wonderfully long bloom time. With so many small flowers always blooming, Anise Hyssop is aways attracting a wide variety of pollinators including bumblebees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
Anise Hyssop is edible making a wonderful tea to aid digestion and smells of anise or licorice. Easy to grow, and often flowering in its first year, it is a hardy plant that self-sows readily and is drought tolerant, once established.

Black Eyed Susan has a wonderfully long bloom giving you copious amounts of cheery yellow flowers to give you a great show late into the season, especially making it high value to our pollinators who are left with few other options. It also makes a wonderful cut flower to enjoy in bouquets.
