Native to the Mediterranean region, Hyssop (Hyssop officinalis) is an aromatic plant with narrow, slightly downy leaves, whose fragrance is somewhat reminiscent of thyme and mint. Long prized for its medicinal properties and culinary uses, it is now finding its place in organic gardens as a companion and aromatic plant.

In the garden, hyssop stands out for its drought resistance and compact, bushy habit. Its blue-violet flowers attract numerous pollinators, providing valuable shelter for beneficial insects. This plant embodies a robust and generous nature, fitting naturally into a bountiful and diverse garden.
