Fantastic flowering perennial that attracts bees from miles around.

by

Outstanding! I stumbled across lavender hyssop last year at a local nursery in Houston. They are prolific bloomers, and attract bees from miles around. I even got stung buying my first plant. This year I wanted more, so I started my own seed. Germination has been outstanding, almost 100%. I seeded them on 1/23, and potted up to 4 inch on 3/7. These are my new favorite perennial.
