Hyssop (Hyssopus Officinalis White) - Every herb garden deserves some Hyssop plants! They are both attractive and beneficial. Honey bees will forage from Hyssop herbs over and over, and both hummingbirds and butterflies will be attracted as well. A mature Hyssop herb plant will have a nice, bushy form with many white flower spikes lasting throughout the summer. This perennial is from the mint family and is nicely aromatic. It has been grown for centuries as a medicinal herb.
Hyssop seeds can be started directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Cover the herb seeds lightly with soil and keep moist until germination. The herb plants require little maintenance except for pruning occasionally and removing the spent flower heads.
