Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Notes

Before domestication, Coronado Hyssop was a wildflower native to the southwest. Its foliage is has a bit of a licorice fragrance. It produces short spikes of yellowish-orange flowers that attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, blooming June to September. It grows to about 12 to 15 inches tall and maybe as wide. Ideal for the perennial border or parkstrip.
