Hyssop
Hyssopus officinalis
- Flowering period
- July–September
- Nectar
- sehr gut
- Pollen
- gering
Hyssop flowers from July to September and reaches a very good nectar value with only a low pollen value. It needs sunny, warm, dry, base-rich and rather shallow stony soils and is notably heat-tolerant. Foraging begins in the morning and continues until evening. As a sub-shrub in a bed or on a wall crown it provides nectar exactly in the midsummer forage gap.
