plant organization but it seems like they are commonly mislabeled so maybe there was a mistake or its some kind of hybrid? curious if you have any thoughts on those close-up pictures! i have 4 other hyssop plants from another native nursery that i just looked at and 1 of them has a different leaf

Rhythm 🎶 🌱 @rhythmicwolf.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

thanks for bringing this up, i had no idea they were so often misidentified! i tried to look into it and im honestly not sure; i feel like they have attributes of both species, though some of the leaves do look more heart-shaped like the korean and the backs arent silvery. i got them from a native
