FAQs

What is the difference between Pink, Blue, and Rock Anise Hyssop?
Pink and Blue Hyssop are both varieties of Hyssopus officinalis, sharing the same aromatic leaves and growth habit, with the main difference being flower colour — pink or blue. Rock Anise Hyssop (often Agastache rupestris) is a different but related plant, known for its taller growth, softer foliage, and distinct aniseed-like scent. All are attractive to pollinators but vary slightly in appearance, fragrance, and garden use.

Can I grow Hyssop in a pot?
Yes, Hyssop grows very well in containers, especially in a sunny position with good drainage.

Can Hyssop be used in cooking?
Yes, young leaves can be used sparingly in salads, soups, and meat or fish dishes for a slightly aromatic flavour.

How do I care for Hyssop?
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Clip back in early spring and deadhead after flowering to encourage continued blooms.

Is there a medicinal difference between Pink, Blue, and Rock Anise Hyssop?
Pink and Blue Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) are the same plant species and have traditionally been used in similar ways. Rock Anise Hyssop (often Agastache species) is a related but different plant, with its own history of traditional use. While they share some similarities, they are generally considered distinct herbs with slightly different properties and uses.

Why grow Pink, Blue, and Rock Anise Hyssop together?
Growing all three creates a more diverse and vibrant planting, with a mix of flower colours, heights, and textures that bring interest throughout the season. Together they attract a wider range of bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, helping to support a healthy, balanced garden ecosystem.

As an added bonus, all three can be enjoyed as aromatic herbs, with leaves and flowers often used in herbal teas, each bringing slightly different flavours and scents.
