Agastache foeniculum, Anise hyssop, Organically Grown Native Perennial Plugs, Native Wildflowers, Native Pollinator Support Plants

Agastache foeniculum, commonly called anise hyssop, blue giant hyssop, Fragrant giant hyssop, or the lavender giant hyssop, is a species of perennial plant in the mint family. This plant is native to much of north-central and northern North America, notably the Great Plains and other prairies.

Infused in tea, anise hyssop can be used to relieve congestion, acting as an expectorant (clearing mucus from lungs and airways). A cold-infusion can be used to relieve chest pains caused by excessive coughing, and mixed with licorice, it can be used to treat respiratory infections and bronchitis.
