$8.99
It's hard to tell why this cute and tough little shrub is largely unknown in the USA. This dwarf version of Hyssopus officinalis is native to the Mediterranean and southern Europe, where it is a favorite culinary herb and spice.
A semi-evergreen, woody perennial in milder climates, this variety is naturally compact and grows into neat, mostly regular mounds. The leaves are small, glossy, and have a spicy aroma; it bears blue flowers in midsummer and sometimes continues to bloom sporadically until late summer. Attracts honey bees and smaller butterflies. Deer and rabbit resistant.
For rock gardens, the front of flower beds, edges or little hedges, big containers, pot gardens, and herb gardens. Can be used as a good substitute for lavender in areas where it fails or doesn't grow well.

Blooming Time: June to July
