Anise Hyssop May 20, 2023

 Anise Hyssop is a bee magnet.  They absolutely love it. I sowed seed last winter, and plants are finally blooming in May.  I find it a bit difficult to grow from seed, but this year I have a half dozen plants or so.  But considering I sowed a quarter ounce of seed, I'd say that's a very poor germination rate.  It reseeds very well if you allow the flowers to turn brown and dry up.  This is a short-lived perennial for me.  The leaves are used in teas, so the plant is classified as an herb.
