They are both strongly scented of licorice and somewhat sweet smelling
as well. They are attracive in the garden with long spikes of blue-
purple flowers. They are considered to be good bee forage. They will
grow well indoors under flourescent lighting, blooming about 2 months
after seeding. Anise Hyssop is native to N. central U.S.  I used the
leaves and flowers in salads and for flavoring meat dishes. They are
supposed to good as a tea also.
