Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 12-18 inches apart. Hyssop thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, then reduce frequency as plants become established. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e600 Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824752525622,"sku":"FOLIA2-1166","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6530424994_teho.jpg?v=1793004465","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/600-hyssop-seeds-hyssopus-officinalis-aromatic-culinary-herb-easy-to-grow","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
