• Sowing:
• Direct sow on the surface of the soil in late fall or spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand or well drained soil in full sun or partial shade. To start the seed indoors, sow the seed on the surface of the soil in a flat; keep the soil temperature between 70-75 degrees F with consistent moisture until germination, which may take as long as 3-4 weeks.
• Growing:
• Do not over water, since this herb prefers slightly dry soil. Hyssop resists nearly all pests and disease. Before the spring growth, prune the plant heavily for healthy, tender new stems.
• Harvesting:
• Harvest leaves for fresh use as soon as they reach a desirable size. The best time for the harvesting is the morning after the dew has dried. Though both the leaves and flowers can be used as an herb or a flavoring, the flavor of the leaves is stronger than that of the flowers. Entire stalks can be harvested as soon as the flowers begin to open, and hung upside down to dry, they should be dried quickly and away from direct sunlight. Once dried, remove the leaves and flowers from the stem and store in an airtight container.
