Sunset Hyssop

 

Sunset hyssop is an upright, clump-forming, flowering perennial with spikes of soft orange and purple flowers.

The narrow gray-green leaves emit a fragrance like root beer. It is very attractive to hummingbirds and hawk moths.

It is one of the best perennial flowers to add color to a landscape and support a variety of insects and birds. It looks great planted next to ornamental grasses and spring bloomers.

We highly recommend this plant.
