Enough for 1 cup, that was all of the anise hyssop that I dared harvest for a cup of herbal tea with the addition of lemon verbena from the greenhouse.

The plant was the most vigorous of 2024 and is being joined by others in a return for this season. Additionally, I recovered some volunteers from self-seeding and have them in small pots on the greenhouse bench.

Protected growing for the subtropical lemon verbena has meant that several sandwich bags have already been harvested and are in the freezer. Those two plants in their big pots were moved to a shady area of the garden, yesterday.

The temperate anise hyssop outdoors has to play catch-up with the verbena :). Soon, I will be able to enjoy both together from the kettle and not just 1 cup a week.
