Hyssopus officinalis. 75 days. Open-pollinated.
 
Hyssop is a hardy perennial herb in the mint family.

Shrub-like plant produces spiked, violet-blue flowers on slender green stems that are not only a favorite of bees and other pollinators, but also a popular addition to essential oils, perfumes, soaps, and skin cleansers due to their bright, clean, aromatic scent.

While often grown as an ornamental, teas brewed from Hyssop leaves have long been used in traditional herbal medicine to soothe sore throats, coughs, and symptoms of the common cold.

Grows to 2 to 3 feet in height. Harvest young leaves and stems as needed. Leaves are best when used fresh, but can also be frozen or dried.

Easily self-seeds in certain regions. Trim back in the winter and enjoy its return come spring!
