Anise hyssop is native to Pennsylvania, but most commonly found in the upper midwest where it thrives in dry, well drained soil. Its long taproot will help it do well in a meadow garden with dry to average soil and full sun. The lavender-colored flowers bloom in the late summer and open sequentially attracting tons of pollinators for an extended period.

The fragrant, anise-scented leaves of Agastache foeniculum have been used for many different medicinal purposes from treating burns to depression. Tea made from anise hyssop is mildly sedative due to the Methyleugenol oil found in the leaves.
