Traditionally valued for its medicinal properties and use in herbal teas, hyssop also adds a bold, minty flavor to culinary dishes. Its fragrant foliage and drought tolerance make it a favorite in herb gardens and borders. Hyssop thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering both ornamental beauty and functional value. It has been cherished since ancient times for its cleansing and healing qualities.

I wanted to get these started early in the year so they were strong when it came time to transplant them out to the orchard. What I wasn’t counting on was how quickly the seeds germinated. It wasn’t even the best of conditions in that tray, but they didn’t care. I looked away for what seemed like a few minutes (but was only over the weekend) and they were all up.
I will never have to buy another packet of these seeds again since it’s a perennial, but if anyone is on the fence, don’t hesitate!
Has grown well over two plantings (spring and fall). Beautiful indigo flower spikes that I love using in cut flower bouquets. Flowers have a long vase life.
Haven't used these seeds yet, as it is winter in the Northwest. I anticipate that the seeds will germinate just as well as all the other seeds I have purchased from MI Gardener. I have never had any issues or concerns when purchasing from MI Gardener, I get nearly all my seeds from them. Love this company :)
YET TO GROW BUT ALL SEEDS i HAVE PURCHASED ARE AMAZING. VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASES.
Good buy, just what I wanted. Love them.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
