Consider Hyssopus Officinalis around the house

Consider Hyssopus Officinalis around the house

If you’re like me when you first heard the name, you wondered, “What the heck is it?” Well, first of all, it’s a shrubby perennial that belongs to the mint family, and it does have a slight minty order. It was brought to our country from Europe by early settlers. Basically, hyssop provides a green plant with extensive “blue” flowers in whorls that last from June through September. It can be planted singularly or spaced 12” apart to provide a garden edge border. It can easily be trimmed or left alone to reach its mostly 18” up to 24” height. With an up to 18” spread, stems/flowers can be trimmed without creating plant gaps to provide an interesting cut flower bouquet that lasts longer than many cut flower arrangements.
