How to Grow Good Anise Hyssop

• Sowing: Sow direct in spring or start indoors. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface (needs light to germinate). Thin to 30–45 cm apart.
• Care: Water until established. Drought-tolerant once mature. Deadhead flowers to promote longer blooming.
• Harvest: Pick leaves as needed throughout the season. Cut flowering stems for fresh or dried use.
• Tip: Anise Hyssop is a hardy perennial that returns reliably each year and self-seeds gently in good conditions.
