Description
Reviews

The leaves of this South American shrub, which are called Ysop or Hyssop in Mexican, are sweet and minty in flavour with a hint of aniseed. It can be used for an infusion, for seasoning food or alternatively eaten raw in a salad. The Aztecs used their variety of hyssop as a fragrant ornamental plant and as a remedy for open sores, and to this day an ointment with giant hyssop as main active ingredient is popular in Mexico.

dieses Jahr hat es nicht geklappt
Ich wollte sie dieses Jahr für mein Spezialbeet mit Heilpflanzen, Stauden und Teekräutern. Ich hab die Voranzucht mehrmals probiert leider hat überhaupt nichts gekeimt, Tüte leer und das war es für dieses Jahr, ja ich weiß auch der Support sendet durchaus das ein oder andere Tütchen nach was nicht aufgekeimt ist, aber ich bin da halt einfach Faul und tüddelich gewesen.
