Growing and using the beneficial properties of agrimony

Botanical characteristics of a turnip

Agrimony is a perennial medicinal low plant that has a weakly branching stem. On the straight stems of the plant there are large pubescent, long leaves. Since June, large yellow flowers bloom on the stems, collected in inflorescences - an ear. The flowering of the plant continues throughout the summer. The fruit of a turnip is an irregularly shaped nutlet with hook-shaped processes on its surface. As long as the plant is fresh it smells amazing, but as soon as it dries, the smell will disappear.

Spring is suitable for seed sowing, but plots can be propagated not only in spring, but also in autumn. Agrimony is not a whimsical plant. This plant is responsive to any care. As the soil dries up, watering is performed. When shoots appear, they do loosening, weeding. If the seeds have been sown too thickly, then thinning makes sense.
