Anise Hyssop 'Tibetan' Seeds (Naturally Grown)
The Tibetan White Hyssop is a stunning, old-fashioned herb cherished for its creamy-white flower spikes and light-green, aromatic foliage that releases a delightful anise-like scent when crushed. This Mediterranean native is a low-lying, hardy shrub that thrives in borders, herb gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its long flowering season ensures continuous beauty, while its minty-flavored leaves make it a valuable culinary and medicinal herb, often used in teas and herbal remedies.
Beyond its ornamental appeal, Tibetan Hyssop is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it an essential addition to any pollinator garden. The erect, dark green stalks contrast beautifully with the brilliant white blooms, creating an elegant display. Deer-resistant!
