Anise Hyssop
Agastache foeniculum is a beautiful aromatic species and culinary herb native to Minnesota. Because its gorgeous flowers are reminiscent of lavender, it is sometimes referenced as Lavender Hyssop, but there is no relation or similarity in aroma.
Anise Hyssop has a complex herbal aroma, with soft notes of camphor, spice, and a creamy, almost marshmallow-like anise note. The leaves and flowers impart a sweet taste to tea and baked goods.
