Hyssop is a great plant in every way. It will attract many a pollinator to the garden, and bee keepers use it to obtain a rich and aromatic honey. The beautiful purplish-blue flowers will brighten up any border in Summer and early Autumn, and the leaves have a strong mint-like scent - the French liqueur Chartreuse contains hyssop. It is a commonly used herb in the Middle-Eastern kitchen.
