Description
Hyssopus officinalis ssp. aristadus (Blue Hyssop) is fragrant herb
traditionally used for brewing tea and as a medicinal plant. Hyssop is
right at home in the ornamental garden. Its deep green foliage and
dark-blue flower spikes are a delight in mid-summer, when many other
plants are looking beat from the heat. Extremely attractive to bees and
butterflies, it is a wonderful companion plant to pink and orange
Agastache. This is a wonderful lavender substitute for colder climates.
Cut back to green foliage in early to mid-spring. 18-24" tall x 12-15"
wide. (Seed propagated.)

Excellent plant - repeat purchaser
"Third time purchasing these plants. Have given away to friends who have admired them and both report their flower bushes are still thriving. Live in Atlanta and these take a beating in the summer/winter. I lightly trim mine after they die late fall but have found regrowth on new stems and old alike. I would say takes about 2 seasons to reach its full potential. Bees are CRAZY for them and they have a pleasant medicinal mint smell to them. Round out nicely about 2 feet all around so don't crowd them in. Nice mid-height plant in garden bed or container but they prefer ground IMO. In Atlanta they bloom May-October into November if still warmer."
Lovely splash of blue for the herb or any garden
"It really makes a difference that High Country Gardens starts their plants at higher altitudes and in alkaline soil. The survival rate of HCG plants is so much higher for Colorado/Front Range gardeners."
I would definitely buy blue Hyssop again!!!
"Very healthy plants!"
Totally unscathed by the NTexas heat wave of 2023
"The Blue Hyssop did not come with my Pre-Planned Jumbo Waterwise Garden. I added some to fill in the gaps. This is the only plant to survive totally unscathed in the DFW North Texas heat wave of 2023. We have had 47 days of 100 + degree days so far. I love this plant! My garden was planted in June."
Our bees love this!
"This little treasure of a plant is loved by our apiary residents."
Beautiful, easy to grow
"Love this guy. One of the few plants I've ordered from HCG that is labeled as easy to grow and actually ""is easy to grow""."
too early to bloom
"I bought two of these last Fall and frankly put them in a not too friendly spot with not much care. They have come back very healthy and I am looking forward to seeing the blooms. It is too early here in Colorado to see blooms yet, but looking forward to a colorful summer."
have not bloomed yet
"I bought two of these last Fall and frankly put them in a really unforgiving spot. They have come back strong and look very healthy, it is too early for them to bloom, Spring Colorado snows but I am looking forward to what they will bring."
