Anise Hyssop Organic Herb Seed

About this variety

A licorice-mint herb that bees love.

Anise hyssop smells strongly of licorice and mint, and the taste follows. Strong plants flower freely and are always busy with bees. Other names include giant hyssop and fragrant giant hyssop.

Both leaves and blossoms can be used fresh or dried: steep them for tea, toss them into salads, or add them to soups, pasta dishes and sweets.

Ready to harvest about 75–80 days from sowing. Open-pollinated. Certified organic seed.
