Growing Information
Sow indoors or in a greenhouse from March-May. Sow seed in pots or trays on the surface of barely moist seed compost in a propagator at a temperature of 15-20°C (59-68°F). Do not cover the seed or exclude light as this will aid germination. Germination up to 21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on in cooler conditions. When all risk of frost has passed, plant outside in the ground or containers at a distance of 60cm (24"). Hyssop thrives in drier soils.
