Are hyssop and Agastache the same?

What is the difference between hyssop and anise hyssop?
Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) and true hyssop flowers appear similar and even taste similar, but they come from different roots. ... Anise is native to North America and tends to be more drought resistant. The real reason to assure that your hyssop is true hyssop is that it has medicinal benefits that anise does not.
Is Agastache plant invasive?
It's pretty invasive but easy to pull out where you don't want it. I originally one in what I called the butterfly garden in a corner of the yard but turned that area into a veggie garden with five raised beds and the hyssop still comes back every year in those beds.
How do you eat hyssop?
Steam fresh hyssop leaves to lessen the intensity and bitterness and add them to salads, broths, and soups. Sprinkle dried hyssop over roasted vegetables or mix it into your ratatouille or caponata. Use hyssop in place of some or all of the mint in a recipe, like when braising lamb.
What can I plant with hyssop?
Companion planting: Grow hyssop with lavender, rosemary, garlic chives, and catmint. Hyssop repels flea beetles and other pests; it lures cabbage moths so it can be used as a trap plant. Hyssop attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Do you deadhead Agastache?
Deadhead (trim) spent flower stalks to keep the plant tidy. If growing Agastache as a perennial, don't prune or deadhead past midsummer. Pruning too late in the season will stimulate new growth in fall that may not survive the winter. If growing Agastache as an annual, keep trimming and deadheading as needed.
