This is the first year I have grown Hyssop and like you mentioned, the bees love it. I wanted to know how and when to harvest the seeds and you provided me with the answer. Thanks for the video and sharing with others. I certainly plan to grow more Hyssop next year. Take care.

Wonderful! Thanks for chiming in!!!

Golden finches love them once they go to seed!

First time and it was amazing! Great pollinator. Also cooked with it. Yummy. Will try tea. Thanks!

I purchased a hyssop plant today and the bees and butterflies were all over it. When I picked it, they jumped off to check me out before heading back up to the flowers. I walked around in a bed cloud the rest of the trip. 😂

Thank you for sharing!

Great information...Thanks for sharing.

Just one anisse hyssop's flowers will provide enough seeds for a LIFETIME! 💪 Even better to pinch the plant multiple times before it blooms for even more flower spikes for more seeds to harvest!

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

Yes indeed so!! I have been gifting out my seeds from this season's growth and behind those plants are more babies! Thank you for your share!

I divided my first year hyssop last fall & glad I did. Plant in front yard didn't survive the Montana so looking forward to pinching my plant back and seed saving 2024 🐝🐝🐝

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

Wishing you success with divided plants for 2024!! Thank you for sharing :-)

[@anniemills2522]

I do this too! I go to harvest and see what a great time all the bees and butterflies are having and I don't have the heart to cut their flower source away from them. I just need to plant more, some for them and some for me.

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

Yes!! I have extra babies that will be moved to new locations just to support our beautiful winged-ones ❤ Thank you for chiming in!!

[@carolhamilton5164]

Do you then need to replant for them to come back or will they com back from the roots.

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

@@carolhamilton5164 I just cut them back and heavy mulch with leaves over the winter months. You can also shake the dried flowers and seeds will land in that area for extra insurance of new spring growth :-)

Hello, Cindi! I'm so glad you made this video, I'm wanting to plant acres of hyssop and found your video when I was searching for trimming tips. They are all in full bloom and I was wondering if clipping off the flowers would encourage them to continue to produce new flowers? I will definitely harvest them at the end of the year. Thank you, absolutely fantastic :)

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

@FrederickDunn Thank you for finding us here on YT! I would encourage you if you haven't seen this video I did on Anise Hyssop early season to watch as this applies to what you would like to do now by trimming the plant back down to produce more plant and fresh flowers. I for sure would leave a few of the plants in full flower for your pollinators and trim back the others (that is what I do in Zone 7) as I depend on this medicine for my nightly teas. I'm including the video I did right here where I show how to trim back so you don't lose your plant, please let me know how it goes for you at the end of the season. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnybcnppiJaGkLs

Will this grow in Louisiana?

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

Absolutely! I found this stellar article for you by the LCU AG center that offers more info on anise + other medical herbs ❤️www.lsuagcenter.com/profiles/rbogren/articles/page1510950386184

[@rebeccalpjohnson5497]

try winter sow! the seeds will stay in the container you choose...and they will be already outside when the temperatures are perfect....this is how i got my first set...the rest came as volunteers...they are awesome! i haven't tried tea yet! i understand it makes a lovely mulch to protect your vegetables

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

Thank you for sharing tips of wisdom!

[@upjunkfashion1511]

Great tip!

[@susanfit47]

Hi. Thanks for that tip. I really like this herb.

[@shalettewoods3942]

Thank you..I was able to grow this and Chinese mint

[@cindissacredgarden1703]

It's my favorite for tea time! shake out the seeds at end of summer and you will find new babies next year :-)
