How to Grow Lavender Hyssop

Lavender Hyssop prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It thrives in sandy, loamy, and clay soils, but needs good drainage. It prefers a slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. It is drought tolerant once established.

Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before average last frost.  Surface sow seeds and cover very lightly with fine potting mix. Keep moist until germination has occurred.

Harden off seedlings for a few days prior to transplanting. After danger of frost has passed, dig a hole roughly the size of the root ball and lower the seedling in, being careful not to disturb the roots. Backfill with loose soil and water well. Space plants 6-12" in all directions. Keep well-watered until the plants are established.

Lavender Hyssop is generally very easy to grow and is drought-tolerant once established, but it will thrive with regular watering. Plants dislike soggy soil so be sure that the planting site is well-drained.

Lavender Hyssop make excellent cut flowers. They have long, slender stems and fragrant, purple-blue flowers that last for up to two weeks in a vase. They are also easy to grow and maintain, making them a great choice for cut flower arrangements.

CONSIDERATIONS:

Harvest the seeds when the flowers have dried and turned brown. Cut the flower heads off the stems and place them in a paper bag. Shake the bag to release the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

HARVESTING SEED:

SEED LONGETIVITY:

Lavender Hyssop seeds can remain viable for up to two years if stored in a cool, dry place.

I am a beekeeper and I have grown Anise Hyssop before and my honeybees Love it. This year I wanted to add Lavender Hyssop to see if they have a preference. I’m anxiously awaiting planting time!
