Plant Care and Growing Tips

At Morningsun Herb Farm, our Sangria Mexican Hyssop plants are cultivated with utmost care and expertise to ensure excellent quality and optimum growth. Here are some essential tips to help you successfully nurture and appreciate this beautiful herb:

1. Sun and Soil Requirements

Sangria Mexican Hyssop thrives in full sun or partial shade. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. It prefers well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Regularly checking and maintaining moisture levels is crucial.

2. Watering and Fertilization

Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Fertilize occasionally with a balanced organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.

3. Pruning and Deadheading

To encourage bushier growth and prolong flowering, regularly trim back the spent flower spikes. Deadheading also helps redirect the plant's energy toward producing new blooms. Pruning can be done during late winter or early spring to maintain a compact shape.

4. Winter Protection

In colder regions, Sangria Mexican Hyssop may require protection during the winter months. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant can help insulate the roots and prevent frost damage. Consider bringing potted plants indoors or covering them during freezing temperatures.
