Details
Hyssop is a native Midwestern U.S. perennial that was commonly used for tea and medicinal remedies by Native Americans. It is as useful in the kitchen as it is beautiful. The leaves and flowers make a refreshing licorice-fruity tasting tea and can be tossed in salads. The lavender-blue flower spikes can be harvested for fresh or dried floral arrangements. Plant it in a border or near a pathway, so you can enjoy its refreshing scent as you pass by. Attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
