However, it is worth taking care of.As well as cultivating this wonderfully fragrant herb is worth cultivating.
Every spring, the perennial herb kills the horizontally growing, strongly branched root.The four-sided stems grow to a height of 40-60 cm and produce oval leaves. White or pink flowers open from July to September.
Lebiodka is best grown in a sunny and warm position in a dry, well-drained ground.
From April, the seeds can be sown both into litter boxes and directly into the ground. After 4-6 weeks, the seedlings are interrupted at a distance of 25x25 cm.For the current use for seasoning purposes, 2 plants are enough.The Lebodon can be easily multiplied from the root suckers.
The use of frost-proof lining is only necessary in colder regions of the country.In spring, before the plants start to knock out, cut out the old shoots shortly above the ground.
Cut the leaves and young shoots during flowering, when they are most fragrant. Lebiodka is perfect for drying (we dry the herb in a ventilated place).It is indispensable, especially in Italian cuisine, and is an indispensable flavor addition to pizza, salads, meats.Lebodon tea helps with digestion, sore throat and coughs.
The extract of 100 g of dried herb poured over 1 liter of water acts as an anti-influenza agent when added to the bath. Lebiodka is also perfect for spraying against aphids in nettle or horsetail manure.
