Growing Your Anise Hyssop Golden Jubilee

For best results, plant Anise Hyssop Golden Jubilee in fertile, well-drained soil. Regular harvesting and fertilization will encourage continuous vegetative growth.

Apply a balanced fertilizer and compost at planting. For leafier growth, snip off flower buds as they appear, although the flowers are a significant attraction. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the anticipated transplant date. Small seeds like these can be gently pressed onto the soil surface without covering.

Fertilize seedlings every 10-14 days. Transplant hardy herbs after the last frost when the weather has stabilized.

For fresh use, harvest leaves and flowers as needed. For drying, harvest at peak maturity and hang small bunches in a warm, dark, and well-ventilated area.
