Hyssopus officinalis, commonly known as hyssop, is a woody perennial herb that is native to the Mediterranean region but is now cultivated in many parts of the world. It belongs to the mint family and is known for its aromatic leaves and blue-purple flowers.
Hyssop grows up to 60cm tall and has thin, woody stems with narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are dark green in colour. Its flowers bloom in summer and are small and tubular in shape, arranged in whorls around the stem. They are usually blue-purple in colour, but can also be pink or white.
Hyssop is widely used as a culinary herb, particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Its leaves and flowers have a slightly bitter, minty taste and are often used to flavour soups, stews, salads, and meat dishes.
In addition to its culinary uses, hyssop is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant in gardens. Its fragrant leaves and attractive flowers make it a popular choice for herb gardens and cottage gardens. Hyssop is also known to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to any wildlife garden.
