Anise Hyssop May 19, 2017

Last year I bought a big packet of Anise Hyssop seed.  I'd tried to grow it before and had no luck  Some of the seed took hold last year and I had a good showing of it.  This year I had a lot of plants survive the winter (it's a tender perennial) and lots of seeds sprouted.  Wow, they look great this year.  They have grown to about three and a half feet tall, very full, throughout the Orchard and some in the Long Border.  The bees are crazy for it, it's an amazing show watching the bees.

 The flower below is actually Henry Duehlberg, a reseeding salvia.  This salvia is an amazing find.  A blue salvia that reseeds - unheard of!
