Bees love this!

Jul 20, 2018

I grew my hyssop plant from these seeds; the seeds went straight into the group in my Zone 4 climate. They grew the year I planted them but it was the following year that they really exploded into amazing, flowering plants. And yeah, the bees and other pollinators love hyssop! Really a great plant. Thanks to Botanical Interests! Never had bad seeds from these guys; I've been buying from them for years.

Greetings from Zone 7a

The package said to expect sprouts to emerge in 14 - 31 days. I had sprouts in four days. It was a very exciting and unexpected surprise!

Its brought some hummingbirds

Since it's been growing true hyssop, I've had humming birds check out its flowers. I cant see much as it happens so fast, but they hover in the direction, and right next to the true hyssop for a few seconds and flys away. Everytime I see them, it's quite amazing.

Unfortunately 0 germination. Almost all the herb seeds I purchased had this result despite planting in several locations.
