Herb hyssop has quite the credentials

You can't go wrong with the black beauty that is herb hyssop

Aromatic foliage, drought-tolerant, loved by butterflies and bees, possessing antibacterial properties and an ingredient of the liqueur Chartreuse – herb hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis, zone 6) has quite the credentials.

Dazzling ‘Black Adder’ with nearly-black buds and violet flowers is available at Veseys.com.

    I have several in my garden. This is their first full year and they are doing well. I purchased them from Potters Nursery,
    192st Surrey.

    is there a supplier of the plants in Vancouver? I love this herb but mine was pruned back to the ground inadvertently; it did not recover and I haven't found one since. Mine got very big so I prefer just buying a plant rather than seeds. That Black Adder does look lovely though, and I love the name and the show that spawned it.
