As best as I can find in my 2 dozen or so reference books and 40 or so pages of refence notes on Fenrir, Loki and things associated with them, there are no herbs that are associated in any real way with Fenrir. In the surviving accounts of the gods and thier world Fenrir is only mentined in a very few of them; His birth, his restraint and subsequent btiing off of Tyr's hand, and his part if the final battle where he devours Odin.
In none of those accounts is there anything I can find that indicates that Fenrir has any connection to any particular pl;ant, herb or much of anything else for that matter.

Mistletoe is mentioned as the plant that was able to be formed into a spear and slay Baldur but none were mentioned as sacred in Asatru. The World Tree is theorized to be a Yew or Ash and the first two humans were created from the Ash and Elm but these aren't "sacred". Rune workers construct runes out of anything but in Tacitus it's mentioned a rune worker constructed runes out of fruit bearing trees. Again, not sacred but useful.
Lokeans - being contrary, probably would think it sacred or at least useful (just don't burn it and inhale the fumes!)

Belladonna and opium are 2 plants that are sacred to Sekhmet. Ra and the other Gods gave Sekhmet belladonna and opium to quiet her raging, violent side.
Because Sekhmet has so many different aspects, its important to correlate every part of the ritual to the side of her you think will be most helpful. Sekhmet can be a healer and can enhance sexual energy, but she is still a War Goddess and can be very wrathful. When invoking her in ritual, its best to "play" to the character trait that best suits your desires.

I don't know of any herbs, but mistletoe from what i hear was important to the Asatru. It was thought to bring luck and fertility (so I've heard).

None that I know of. Niether are crystals, rocks or anything else.
Chances are mistletoe was important to Anglo-Saxon tribes because that's were it grows. It doesn't grow in places like Norway, so it wouldn't have been included.
