The Poquito™ Orange Hyssop is a hybrid that combines traits from different species. It produces delicate flower spikes that rise above its finely textured leaves, exuding a delightful licorice aroma that attracts pollinators.

This plant thrives in full sunlight and can adapt to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. While it is resilient to drought and salt, it cannot withstand overly wet conditions, particularly in clay soils during winter. It is an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or container planting.
