From the Greek “agathos” which means “formidable”, the Threadleaf giant hyssop is a fragrant, perennial, aromatic and melliferous plant. Its fragrant foliage is a subtle mix of camphor hints, anise and mint which will delight the gourmet gardeners.
The Threadleaf giant hyssop has numerous green stems covered with a white bloom which develops into supple stalks with orangey-pink flowers in summer.
It is best to grow it in a well drained soil with Lavenders and Thyme for example. -
