The most optimal areas for planting hyssop are sunny, with moderately moist calcareous soil.
How to grow
In the fall, manure, a little superphosphate and potassium salt are added to the area where hyssop will grow, and the soil is dug up deeply.
Hyssop propagates in three ways: seeds, cuttings and dividing the bush.
Amateur flower growers who do not have their own plot of land can grow it in a room or on a balcony in the form of a potted crop.
To obtain blue St. John's wort seedlings, a procedure similar to that used for growing seedlings for open ground is carried out.
When can hyssop be cut for drying
After drying, the woody stems of hyssop become very hard and the flowers become prickly.
Therefore, it is better to collect inflorescences at the very beginning of flowering, when the upper part of the plant is still soft.
How does hyssop reproduce
Hyssop is propagated by seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings.
Seeds are sown for seedlings in March or in a greenhouse in April.
They are quite small. Therefore, shallow embedding is required.
