Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is an aromatic perennial in the mint family. Its leaves have a minty, slightly bitter flavour with citrus notes and are used in teas, soups, stews, and salads. It also has a long history in traditional herbal preparations.

Spikes of purple blue flowers attract bees and butterflies. Established plants tolerate dry conditions.

How to stratify seed

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.

Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
