Well established root system and ready to plant! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name doesn't lie. Purple giant hyssop is genuinely giant — up to 6 feet of upright, diamond-stemmed presence topped with dense lavender-purple flower spikes that bloom late summer into fall when the rest of the garden is winding down. It's a late-season pollinator anchor: bees, butterflies (up to 14 documented species), hummingbirds, and songbirds that follow for the seeds. It's a cousin to the more familiar anise hyssop but taller, more architectural, and with a subtler spicy-herbal fragrance rather than licorice — closer to oregano than anise. The flower spikes also make excellent cut and dried flowers, and the seeds self-sow reliably for a self-sustaining colony over time.\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous peoples of eastern North America used the leaves for respiratory support, fevers, and digestive complaints, and root infusions as a diuretic. The leaves can be used fresh in salads or dried for tea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 Latin Name: Agastache scrophulariifolia\u003cbr\u003e🌞 Light: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e🌱 Soil: Well-drained, average to sandy loam; adaptable; tolerates lean ground\u003cbr\u003e💧 Water: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established\u003cbr\u003e📏 Mature Size: 4–6 ft tall\u003cbr\u003e🌸 Bloom Time: Late summer through fall\u003cbr\u003e🗺️ Hardiness Zone: 4–8\u003cbr\u003e🦋 Wildlife Value: Attracts bees, honeybees, 14+ butterfly species, hummingbirds; seeds feed songbirds; deer and rabbit resistant\u003cbr\u003e🌿 Edible\/Herbal Tradition: Young leaves used in salads and tea; traditionally used by Indigenous peoples of eastern North America for respiratory complaints, fever, and digestion\u003cbr\u003e♻️ Permaculture Value: Late-season pollinator anchor; self-seeding; excellent cut and dried flower; tall structural plant for food forest edges and back borders\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Earth Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" x 5\" pot","offer_id":42991496429639,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/5058\/5415\/files\/1_4f74d6eb-90b8-48e6-9f75-870c6d61baf9.png?v=1784732408","url":"https:\/\/newearthnursery.com\/products\/purple-giant-hyssop-agastache-scrophulariifolia-1","provider":"New Earth Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
