Clumping plant grows erect and narrow, up to 5 feet{{SSN}}. Leaves have a licorice scent{{SSN}}. 4 inch spikes produce blue flowers{{SSN}}. '''''Agastache foeniculum''''' ('''blue giant hyssop'''; [[syn.]] '''''Agastache anethiodora''''' ([[Nutt.]]) [[Nathaniel Lord Britton| Britton]]) is a species of [[perennial]] plant in the [[mint family]], ([[Lamiaceae]]). This plant is native to much of north-central and northern [[North America]].<ref name= USDA>[http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=AGFO#| USDA PLANTS Profile for ''Agastache foeniculum'']</ref> Anise hyssop is in the same family as hyssop (the mint family [[Lamiaceae]]), but they are not closely related. [[Hyssop]] (Hyssopus) is a genus of about 10-12 species of herbaceous or semi-woody plants native from the east Mediterranean to central Asia. ==Cultivation== Prefers a sunny position and a moist{{wp}} or dry well-drained soil{{pfaf187}}{{pfaf200}}. This species is not hardy in the colder areas of the country, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°c{{pfaf200}}. The young growth in spring is very susceptible to slug damage{{pfafK}}. The flowering plants are very attractive to bees and butterflies{{pfafK}}. ===Propagation=== Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 3 months at 13°c{{pfaf133}}. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first year. Plant out in late spring or early summer[K]. Division in spring. Fairly simple, if large divisions are used it is possible to plant them straight out into their permanent positions. Basal cuttings of young shoots in spring{{pfaf111}}. Harvest the young shoots when they are about 10 - 15cm tall and pot them up in a lightly shaded position in a greenhouse. They should root within 3 weeks and can be planted out in the summer or following spring. ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Cultivars== *'Texas American' - This form has an anise-pennyroyal fragrance and is used in a similar way to the species{{pfaf183}}. ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Agastache+foeniculum   *Sunset National Garden Book.
