Gina,
Although there are hundreds of choices, I have two in particular that I
would heartily recommend. In keeping with the spirit of this list, they
are both extremely ornamental and I was pleasantly suprised with their
showiness. They are hyssop and anise hyssop. Anise hyssop is fairly
tall, about 3', and makes a woderful tea. The flowers, which taste
faintly of root beer, make a colorful addition to a salad. Hyssop is a
small shrub, eventually growing to 5', and has attractive blue flower
spikes from late summer into the fall.
