Its leaves are very aromatic, smelling pleasantly of anise, or licorice. Forming upright clumps of 2-4 feet (60-120cm) in height, with a spread of 1 foot (30cm), Anise Hyssop is a striking addition to any herb garden.

Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. Can be grown in large containers on a patio.
Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
