Pollinator friendly is an understatement with this hyssop; butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds all flock to its nectar-rich flowers in our trial garden. It is especially florific, featuring large deep-purple spires that blanket the entire plant and hold their color from late spring well into fall. Beelicious® purple hyssop is also drought tolerant, deer resistant, and compact, making it a must-have in any sunny border or garden. To create a late season haven for pollinators, pair with other pollinator favorites.

Care

Watering:

Beelicious® Purple Hyssop is very drought tolerant and typically only needs watering during the hottest days of summer.

Fertilizing:

Beelicious® Purple Hyssop is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.

Pruning:

Beelicious® Purple Hyssop should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
