Both the flowers and foliage have an intense mint scent. Bred by Jelitto Seed, Europe’s leading perennial seed company. Likes low fertility and well-drained soil. You can grow Apricot Sprite Hyssop as an annual; it makes a wonderful potted plant that will attract hummingbirds. 15-18" tall x 24" wide.
