Hyssop

The Roseus hyssop is an aromatic subshrub whose structure and requirements strongly resemble the popular lavender. It originally comes from the sunny and dry regions of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, so it thrives best in direct sun here as well. It favors well-drained, sandy, and even nutrient-poor soil, where it easily copes with a lack of moisture. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flower bed, where it will very soon form a neat, richly branched bush reaching a height of around fifty centimeters. It is an absolutely undemanding plant that is not bothered by diseases or pests, so its cultivation can be easily handled even by complete beginners. It comfortably withstands severe frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees Celsius. In the garden, hyssop finds wide application. It fits perfectly into steppe-character gravel beds and beautifully complements roses or lower ornamental grasses. During the summer until early autumn, the Roseus variety will delight you with a flood of tiny flowers in a delicate light pink shade. These flowers, as well as the narrow green leaves, emit a pleasant spicy fragrance and reliably act as a huge lure for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Since all parts of the plant are edible, you can also use hyssop in the kitchen as a herb to flavor dishes or prepare a medicinal tea from it. You can also cut the long flowering stems for a vase, where they will add a fine texture and lightness to summer bouquets. Although the flowers are not suitable for drying for floral purposes, the plant will please you in the flower bed even out of season. The inflorescences form an interesting structure which, after the leaves fall and are covered by morning frost, creates a beautiful winter effect. Furthermore, if you provide hyssop with ideal conditions, it will reliably self-seed in its location and remain a solid part of your garden for many years.

The Albus hyssop is an aromatic subshrub that will bring a Mediterranean atmosphere and a flood of pure white flowers to your garden. Its original home is the sunny and rocky slopes of Southern Europe, so it will appreciate full sun and well-drained, even poorer sandy soil here as well. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flower bed, where it will quickly form a dense, fragrant bush about half a meter tall. It does not suffer from diseases or pests, effortlessly handles drought and severe frosts, and even beginners can manage its care. With its appearance, it resembles lavender and looks great as an accompaniment to roses or in steppe-character gravel beds. From July to September, it is covered in tiny flowers that act as a huge lure for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In addition, the whole plant smells pleasantly, and its leaves and flowers are edible. Hyssop is excellent for cutting into summer bouquets, and during the winter, it creates a beautiful detail in the flower bed when its woody stems are covered in frost.
