Iarba de fier - specie aromatică în colecția IGFPP

Sideritis of the Genus Sideritis - introducers of the spicy aromatic collection. Sideritis is a genus of annual and perennial plants of the family Lamiaceae. The plant has a pleasant aroma and many medic-inal benefits. Foliage and inflorescences are sold as unusual tea in all Mediterranean countries. Reproduc-tion of the plant was carried out by seedlings, which were obtained from seeds, or vegetative using cut-tings from annual shoots. As a result of introduction studies, we managed to propagate and introduce in our collection two of its subspecies - Sideritis scardica and S.taurica, as medicinal and spicy-aromatic, drought-tolerant plants.
