Unit price perHyssopus officinalis
Hyssop is a hardy, evergreen perennial herb that forms neat, bushy plants reaching around 45 cm tall. Throughout summer it produces spikes of vibrant blue flowers that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent addition to herb gardens, vegetable patches and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its aromatic, mint-like foliage remains attractive year-round.
The young leaves have a warm, slightly bitter flavour and are traditionally used sparingly to season salads, soups, meat dishes, egg dishes and herbal teas. Hyssop has a long history in both culinary and traditional herbal use and is also valued as a companion plant, helping attract beneficial insects while acting as a trap plant for cabbage moths.
