Purple Giant Hyssop (Agastache scrophulariifolia) seedling
Purple Giant Hyssop (Agastache scrophulariifolia) seedling
The name doesn't lie. Purple giant hyssop is genuinely giant — up to 6 feet of upright, diamond-stemmed presence topped with dense lavender-purple flower spikes that bloom late summer into fall when the rest of the garden is winding down. It's a late-season pollinator anchor: bees, butterflies (up to 14 documented species), hummingbirds, and songbirds that follow for the seeds. It's a cousin to the more familiar anise hyssop but taller, more architectural, and with a subtler spicy-herbal fragrance rather than licorice — closer to oregano than anise. The flower spikes also make excellent cut and dried flowers, and the seeds self-sow reliably for a self-sustaining colony over time.
Indigenous peoples of eastern North America used the leaves for respiratory support, fevers, and digestive complaints, and root infusions as a diuretic. The leaves can be used fresh in salads or dried for tea. It's not the medicinal heavy-hitter that some of its relatives are, but it earns its place in any food forest edge, back border, or pollinator corridor on sheer ecological output alone — and that stature makes a statement.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
