How to grow hyssop
Hyssopus officinalis
When to plant hyssop
Propagate hyssop in spring by seed, stem cutting, or division, trimming in spring to keep it bushy (NC State). It is a short-lived, semi-evergreen perennial that prefers some shade from hot afternoon sun and is drought- and deer-tolerant once established.
Hyssop is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
