Oh, I meant to say just like a box of Good and Plenty candy in the title! As you can see, I'm in my garden trying to tidy up before the big W sets in! This was last week because this week has been rainy. This is
anise hyssop (
Agastache foeniculum). It is one of my favorite edible flowers because it tastes just Good and Plenty candy. I am sure I'm dating myself now! I think they must have Good and Plenty in those vintage candy boxes they sell! You can also use the leaves in tea both fresh and dried. Some gardeners find this plant invasive, but I have never had too much anise hyssop. In fact sometimes I wish I had a bit more. I need to gather some leaves and dry them for my tea blends this fall. I have not been drying enough. I have provided a link from The Herb Companion magazine on anise hyssop for you to browse. Hope you are enjoying your day wherever you may be. Talk to you later.
