What is the common name for Agastache sp.?

The common name for Agastache sp. is indeed Hyssop. This plant, belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae), is often recognized for its aromatic leaves and colorful flower spikes that attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Agastache species are widely appreciated in gardens not only for their beauty but also for their resilience and ability to thrive in various soil types, making them popular choices for herbaceous borders and pollinator gardens.

While the other choices share some characteristics with Agastache, they refer to different plants entirely. Mint, for instance, includes several species known for their flavor and culinary uses but is not the same as Agastache. Similarly, sage and basil are distinct herbs with unique flavors and growing conditions. Therefore, the association of Agastache specifically with the common name Hyssop is well-founded in botanical classification and horticultural practice.
