Blue-Flowered Hyssop
Hyssopus officinalis 'Caeruleus'
Blue hyssop is one of the very best Old World plants for attracting and feeding bees. Its aromatic foliage and bright blue flowers are a highlight of the mid-Summer garden. Foliage, flowers, and plant oils have a long history of culinary and folk medicine uses. Leaves are still used in cooking to flavour meats, soups, sauces, salads, or stews. Hyssop oil is currently used as a flavouring agent in Chartreuse liquor. Deer resistant.
