Agastache foeniculum is an upright perennial that is native through parts of Ontario to British Columbia. It is noted for its attractive mid- to late summer tubular blooms of lavender to purple flowers in terminal spikes and its anise-scented foliage. The flowers are attractive to bees (good nectar plant), hummingbirds and butterflies and make good cut flowers. The aromatic leaves can be used to make herbal teas or jellies. Seeds can be added to cookies or muffins. Dried leaves can be added to potpourris.  It is best used in buttefly and cottage style gardens or meadow plantings.
