Anise hyssop, is an upright, clump-forming perennial of the mint family that is native to parts of the upper Midwest and Great Plains. It is noted for its mid- to late summer bloom of lavender to purple flowers, which are attractive to bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. Aromatic leaves can be used to make herbal teas or jellies. Seeds can be added to cookies or muffins. Dried leaves can be added to potpourris. Description from Missouri Botanical Garden
