Lake Valley Heirloom Hyssop Seeds

Hyssop is a flowering shrub-like perennial herb that grows 1-2′, commonly grown for its flavorful leaves. With hardy growth, Hyssop develops violet-blue flowers spiked on deep-green slender stems that give off a bright aroma. Hyssop is in the mint family and makes a vibrant ornamental herb that attracts pollinators and is a good candidate for container gardening.
