Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is a fragrant, hardy perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It features slender, aromatic leaves and spikes of small blue, purple, or pink flowers that bloom in summer. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, hyssop is valued for its culinary uses as a seasoning, its medicinal properties, and its ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s drought-tolerant and ideal for herb gardens, borders, and rockeries.
