Agastache
Also known by the common names Giant hyssop, hummingbird mint and licorice mint, Agastache is a drought-loving prolific herbaceous perennial producing gorgeous showy flower spires in vivid colors from purple to lavender, pink, rose, red, blue, white, yellow, and orange that bloom all season long.
Requiring full Sun, well drained soils and growing to a mature size of approximately 3-5 feet tall and 1-3 feet wide they are a close relative of catmint, and most varieties are native to North America. Their vivid color lures bees, butterflies and hummingbirds and they are both deer and rabbit resistant.
With a minty, herb-like fragrance their leaves and flowers are edible, and they can be dried to make herbal tea.
