Hyssopus officinalis, or hyssop, is an evergreen, bushy perennial herb of the Lamiaceae (mint) family, growing 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) tall with square stems, linear leaves, and whorls of 6 to 15 blue-purple flowers. Native to southern Europe, it is cultivated in gardens worldwide in cooler climates. Known for its mint-like, slightly bitter flavor, hyssop is used sparingly as a culinary spice or macerated in liqueurs.
Hyssop supports respiratory health and digestion due to its expectorant and carminative properties.
