Hyssop Pink
Pink Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis ‘Roseus’)
A fragrant, upright herb with soft pink flower spikes loved by bees and perfect for sunny borders
🌿 Pink hyssop is a hardy, aromatic perennial with slender stems, narrow green leaves, and beautiful soft pink flower spikes that appear from midsummer into autumn. A gentler, pastel‑toned form of the traditional blue hyssop, it brings colour, fragrance, and structure to herb gardens, borders, and wildlife‑friendly planting schemes. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, it’s a superb choice for gardeners who want both ornamental value and a versatile culinary herb.
