Origins and History

Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) is a North American mint-family perennial with deep roots in Indigenous plant knowledge and prairie ecology, long valued for its fragrant foliage, nectar-rich flowers, and comforting herbal traditions. Rather than being “domesticated” in the same way as annual seed crops (like beans or corn), anise hyssop’s heirloom story is best understood as a pathway from wild tending and selective gathering to garden stewardship—first through generations of regional use and observation, and later through home gardens and seed-saving networks that favored plants with strong anise aroma, abundant bloom, winter hardiness, and reliable self-seeding. As pollinator gardening expanded and herbal tea traditions re-emerged in household apothecaries, anise hyssop became a beloved “heritage perennial” passed from gardener to gardener—an heirloom not because it is anciently bred into a uniform cultivar, but because it is culturally carried, resilient, and consistently true to type in the garden when saved and shared.

Appearance and Characteristics

Anise hyssop forms an upright clump—typically 2–4 feet tall—with square stems (a mint-family trait) and opposite, softly toothed leaves that release a sweet licorice/anise fragrance when brushed. In mid to late summer it sends up showy spikes of lavender to purple flowers that bloom in succession, giving the plant a long flowering window. The overall look is airy but structured: a vertical accent that fits beautifully into herb beds, cottage gardens, prairie plantings, and mixed borders. It is generally well-behaved (not a runner like some mints), and once established it’s drought-tolerant, cold-hardy, and a magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.

Gardening Uses

In the garden, anise hyssop is a pollinator powerhouse and a natural choice for seed-to-flower education beds, sensory gardens, and “tea gardens.” Use it as a back-of-border herb, a mid-border flowering perennial, or in mass plantings for a soft purple haze that hums with pollinators. It also shines in companion-style plantings: near vegetables to increase beneficial insect traffic, alongside other prairie natives, or in herb spirals where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close. The cut flower spikes are excellent in fresh arrangements, and the dried stems can be bundled for long-lasting bouquets or craft use.

Growing Tips

Anise hyssop thrives in USDA Zones 4–9 (often perennial through colder winters with good drainage and some protection). It prefers full sun for strongest growth and best flowering, though it tolerates light shade—especially in hotter climates. Provide well-drained soil; it adapts to average ground but dislikes soggy winter conditions.
From seed: sow shallowly, as the seed needs light to germinate. Aim for a sowing depth of 1/8 inch (or simply press seed into the surface and lightly cover). Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost or direct-sow in spring after danger of hard frost has passed. Keep evenly moist until established; once plants are growing strongly, water deeply but less frequently. Space plants about 12–18 inches apart to encourage airflow and reduce mildew pressure.

Harvesting Guidance

Harvest anise hyssop for foliage and flowers when plants are vigorous—ideally just as flower spikes begin to open, when aroma and flavor are at their peak. For tea and drying, cut upper stems in the morning after dew has dried, bundle, and hang in a warm, airy place out of direct sun. You can also harvest small amounts of fresh leaves anytime for culinary or garden use—pinching tips encourages bushier growth. If you want seed, allow some flower spikes to fully mature and dry on the plant; then cut and bag them to finish drying before gently threshing. Leaving a portion of seed heads in place can also invite light self-seeding, helping this heirloom perennial “carry itself forward” in the garden year after year.

Why call it "Grovel" when there is no actual groveling?
Format: Kindle
I'm so confused by this story. The title of the book is Grovel and yet the MMCs do not do any groveling at all. They reject her, say mean/cruel things to her and break her heart, but then do nothing to make up for it when she comes back to town. I couldn't stand Frost; the way that he treated her, and women in general, the things that he said to her just gave no reason for why he should be forgiven or be allowed back into Noelle's life. The interactions with Robin and Shepard were a little better, but nothing about this story showed me why she should forgive them and get back together with them. This was a good premise, but very poor execution of a story line. I felt bad for Noelle and what she had been through with these men, but wanted better for her and wished that she could have found a different pack that would actually treat her right and not blame her for the choices that their mother made. In the end, this book just wasn't for me. I liked the character of Nana, I even liked Noelle's parents and felt bad for what Noelle had to deal with, but I just didn't care for the supposed romance that this book was about. Maybe others will enjoy it, but I'll probably pass on any other stories from this author. I gave it 2.75 stars, but rounded up since Amazon doesn't allow partial stars.

The grovel wasn’t groveling.
Format: Kindle
Oh no, if you’re going to promise grovel, you better deliver. And unfortunately… this one fumbled the assignment. Three Alphas who rejected their scent match, broke her heart, and let her walk away for ten years, only to realize she was “the one suddenly”? I was ready for emotional devastation and tearful, knees-in-the-snow apologies. But here’s the problem: the grovel just didn’t hit hard enough. For a betrayal that deep, the emotional payoff felt rushed. The Alphas express regret, sure, but it never quite reaches that gut-wrenching, ache-for-it level you expect from a story built entirely on redemption. Their apologies come, but they lack the prolonged suffering, the desperate proving, the earn it or lose her forever energy that would’ve made this unforgettable. After ten years of heartbreak and abandonment, Noelle's forgiveness comes a little too easily, a little too quickly. You can feel the story nudging her toward reconciliation before the emotional scales are fully balanced. The chemistry is still there, the tension still simmers, and the small-town winter vibes are undeniably cozy, but for a book titled Grovel, the emotional reckoning needed to be deeper, messier, and far more punishing. A compelling setup with plenty of angst and longing, but if you’re here for hardcore grovel and slow-earned forgiveness, this one might leave you wanting more.
