Giant hyssop is a perennial but is most often grown as a half-hardy annual. It has edible leaves and flowers which taste like a combination of mint and aniseed, with the leaves generally being sweeter tasting than the leaves. The most common use of both the leaves and flowers is to make a floral tea. Giant hyssop may also be used to make flavoured sugars, butters, oils and vinegars as well as being used in a wide variety of dishes including salads, pasta dishes, with vegetables and with fruit.
