Rosie Posie is a compact, vibrant variety of anise hyssop known for its long bloom period, strong color, and pollinator appeal. From midsummer to fall, it produces dense spikes of rosy-magenta flowers that rise above aromatic, deep green foliage. The foliage releases a sweet, minty-anise scent when touched, adding another layer of garden interest.
This tidy, mounding perennial grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for front borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while being deer- and rabbit-resistant.
Rosie Posie thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it is heat- and drought-tolerant. Its sturdy stems resist flopping, and it maintains a clean, rounded shape throughout the season with minimal care.
