GIANT HYSSOP:   This wonderfully-scented native perennial is used in teas to treat fevers, colds, coughs and even to strengthen the heart. As the name suggests, the leaves have a delightful Anise flavour.  Common in the Edmonton area, Giant Hyssop grows best in partial shade with moist soils. Growing to 80 cm tall, it has dense spikes of purple to blue flowers. Sow direct in late fall or start indoors in March to transplant in mid May or June. Cover the seeds only slightly as they need light to germinate. A period of 3 weeks in the fridge prior to planting will help the seeds to germinate.   50 seeds.    NF706
