Propagation of hyssop is by seed, strike, or by crown division. Prefers dry, light, sandy soils, but with plenty of moisture. Sow in March, water liberally in the early stages, then taper off. Carries strong healing forces, especially in the flowers. Used as a culinary herb to flavor stews, but also liqueurs. Bees love it and make an exceptional honey from it. (13:48)
