Anise Hyssop - Agastache foeniculum

Anise Hyssop should be grown in full sun and rich moist soil.  It is Hardy to about 15 degrees Fahrenheit.  It reseed's rather freely, but does not become weedy.  It can also be propagated by division and softwood cuttings in spring.  To harvest, cut stems at the base of the plant and hang in bunches of 6 stems, fastened with a rubber and.  After 3 weeks, strip leaves from stems and store in glass jars with tight lids.  Use as an infusion for coughs, colds and indigestion.
