Hyssopus officinalis is an evergreen medicinal and spice plant that is not native to Germany, but can be found occasionally. The violet lip flowers of the perennial are arranged in spikes and should be cut regularly in spring to prevent baldness. This robust plant thrives particularly well in sunny and rocky locations and can also be grown on balconies and terraces in pots and boxes. The plant keeps pests away and is easy to care for.
