Hyssopus officinalis 'Nana' - Dwarf Blue Hyssop
This wonderful dwarf semi-woody evergreen herb has blooms of showy, blue to blue-purple flower spikes in summer. Its strong fragrance makes it a great edge plant to repel deer and bunnies from your border, while its lengthy bloom period attracts butterflies and bees for many months in the growing season!
Typically grown as a cutting flower and for the edible and medicinal qualities of its leaves. This plant will grow from 1-2 ft. high and wide in ordinary garden soil in full sun (preferred) or part shade; it's not particularly fussy.
The compact growth makes it handy for defining the edge of a border in a tidy way. Extremely drought tolerant once established, and will mix nicely with other semi-woody or woody evergreen subshrubs such as Caryopteris (Bluebeard), Helianthemum (Sun roses), Teucrium (Germander), Nepeta (Catmints), and Erysimum (Wallflowers).
[Note: If bargain picks are available at reduced cost, these are a little scruffy or small, but just need some sun and TLC and will perk up in your landscape.]
