Plants of the Week

Before listing Wapsinonoc plants that are ready to move out into other people's gardens, I want to feature one special plant: Anise Hyssop. There are so many ways that I appreciate this aromatic plant, from the reddish tinge on its beautiful leaves to its showy and fragrant blossom. If you would like a plant that is great in teas, is a tonic to your system, attracts bees and butterflies, and comes up each year without fuss or trouble, anise hyssop might be a potential new friend.

Besides anise hyssop, here is a list of things that I will have at the Grant Wood Farmers Market in Iowa City tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, April 23:
