Anise Hyssop

Also known as blue giant hyssop (en) Fragrant giant hyssop (en) lavender giant hyssop (en)

A perennial herb in the mint family, growing to about 1 m, with spikes of violet-blue flowers and aromatic leaves that can be used for tea. Bees, butterflies and other insects are strongly drawn to the flowers, so it is a good beneficial-insect plant. Sow into trays in spring, prick out at 2.5 cm diagonal spacing and transplant at 30 cm diagonal spacing once the leaves touch, or scatter sow directly onto the ground.
