Beelicious Pink Anise Hyssop is a compact, aromatic herbaceous perennial prized for its massive, thick spikes of bright, bubblegum-pink flowers that bloom continuously above highly fragrant, rich green foliage. This striking selection is known for its tidy, upright habit and its leaves, which release a delightful sweet licorice or anise scent when brushed.

With its robust performance in the heat and exceptional drought tolerance, Beelicious Pink offers bold, vertical color and wonderful fragrance with straightforward care.

Growing Beelicious Pink

Light: Full sun; thrives in bright, direct sunlight to produce the most robust growth, the most abundant blooms, and the strongest stem structure.

Soil: Well-drained soil of any texture; highly adaptable but requires excellent drainage, as it is highly susceptible to crown and root rot in soggy or heavy clay soils, particularly over winter.

Water: Low to moderate; water regularly until established, then allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is highly drought-tolerant once mature.

Maintenance: Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage a continuous, prolific flush of new blooms throughout the summer and into fall. Leave the plant standing through the winter to protect the crown, and cut back old, dead stems in early spring just as new growth emerges.

Wildlife: Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds; naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant due to its strongly aromatic foliage.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 6–9; requires excellent winter drainage to reliably survive in the colder regions of its hardiness range.
