Starting from the second year of the cultivation of the Lofanta, two yields of medicinal raw materials can be obtained. The first time the plant is cut at a height of 35-40 cm from the ground, and a second time, after the collection of seeds in the fall, at an altitude of 12-15 cm from the ground.
After trimming Lofant plug And it is desirable to fall asleep with a layer by a layer of 15-20 cm. and to cover the cutting raspberry or snacks. This recommendation refers to the northern zones of Russia.
Part of the plants can be digging and raised on the windows in winterBy the way, they make people living in the extreme north.

Sheltered Lofant is well tolerates harsh winters. As soon as snow comes down, with the onset of warm days, quickly gaining power, goes into growth and gives rich Vitamins, phytocides and biologically active substances green mass. Young leaves are used to treat prostatitis like spicy plant For the preparation of salads, vitamin tea, etc. With great success, the dry lofant is used in dust, use for fragrances bakery and confectionery, as well as spice in the preservation of vegetables and flavors of juices and beverages, and seeds in confectionery products.

Lofant is multiplied by seeds, the division of the bush, cuttings, grains, and everyone can successfully grow it on their garden.

The most reliable way - growing seedlings from seeds.

Lofant seeds are not much more poppy branches. Seeds seed in early springIn March - April to the boxes to a depth of no more than 1 cm into a well-dispenteed land, that is, they make a groove with a depth of 3-4 mm, sow the grains, then watered from thin flower. If we are covered with snow layer in 2 cm (melt living water), then water, absorbed into the ground, pulls the seeds behind it. From above, it is desirable to drink dry ground for a couple of mm. Then put sticks and close the film before the appearance of germs.

Seeds before sowing can be withstanding up to 30 minutes in a rag in a weak manganese solution to dry and then stored on the top shelf in the refrigerator.
Shoots appear on the 5-6th day. Water moderately between lines of sowing with the addition of droplets boric acid, t. K. Shoots are very weak and amazed with a black leg.
With the appearance of 4 - 5 leaves, it is necessary to record plants, again in the disinflected land, it is approximately 25-30 days after seeding.

And so: - not to plunge, seemerly not to fall asleep the earth, do not pour with the soul with water from under the tap. When sowing at the beginning of spring : Make small grooves 3-4 cm deep. Spring them from a jar with water, sow seeds, slightly twisted for a couple of mm earth and until the sediment appears are covered with a film laid on the sticks. A month later, the seedlings on the planned sections and flower beds are performed.

Summy sowing Lofanta : To do this, it is necessary late in the fall, in front of the sleigh, with the help of a plate, it is good to compact the soil in the rows where you will pour seeds. Seed seeds, and then sprinkle them by 3-4 mm. in advance stored dry ground.

Plants are planted in open sad When establishing steady warm weather, usually at the end of May a week before the tomato landing. Plants are planted with rows after 20-25 cm (between rows 60-70 cm) to a depth of 5-8 cm. Watering is carried out until complete survival. Care of plants is a weeding, loosening of rivers and dip. The soil should be loose and good fertilized.
Lofant blooms in the second half of July and flowering continues until the end of September and to the first frost. At the end of flowering, the plants cut the ripened ears and swell the ripe seeds, and then carry out the preparation of medicinal raw materials. Green mass is cut at an altitude of 12-15 cm from the ground and dried under the canopy.

Attention! Mint long-oil (narrow-mounted). - Mentha Longifolia (L.) Huds.

This is a long-oil mint (narrow-mounted) which grows in nature in almost many places. If you sow Lofant and near the mint nearby, even if it is 300m from him, then you must definitely be overstated and its colosum flowers will become another color - from pink to dark purple. Naturally, and change medicinal properties Lofant. Surrender: smell, appearance, honey qualities. What the recovery lofant looks like -.

Industrial cultivation Lofant (sowing directly to the soil) Lofant Tibetan can be sowned with industrial cultivation to obtain medicinal raw materials and in beekeeping directly to the ground. The field under Lofant is placed outside the crop rotation. Prerequisite pushing. Dung - 35-40 t / ha, superphosphate - up to 400kg / ha, potash fertilizers - up to 250 kg / ha and spend deep plowing by 22-25 cm. Spring, in April-May month (this is determined climatic zoneThe sooner - the better!) As soon as the soil allows, the plot is milling and sow much earlier than a grain, well-tuned by a wide-armed seedling. Seed seed rate is 4-5 kg \u200b\u200b/ ha, the depth of the zeadelka is 3-4 cm. This year, Lofant will not bloom in almost blossom. After a height of plants on medicinal raw materials at an altitude of 12-15 cm, they only need to be emphasized under the winter. The main crop of seeds and medicinal raw materials will be only in subsequent years. During the autumn Ukos, part of the seed, one way or another, is poured out of the heat of the earth, and since it is still necessary to carry out more than 50 kg / ha, the growth of new bushes will occur only in the row, it will be necessary to carry out more than 50 kg / hectare. will grow in aisle - spring loosening, weeding, the July subcorded mineral and organic fertilizers With their subsequent sealing into the soil, as well as the autumn bribery of the plants, will be destroyed.

Flowers celebrate the variety and decorativeness of species and varieties lofanta His ability to bloom from mid-summer and to deep autumn. Beekeepers draw attention to the fact that it herbate plant Magnificent honey: from one hectare of bees collect as many honey, as with hectare white acacia or linden , Only trees need to raise several years, and this perennial blooms already in the first year after landing.

Finally, some phytotherapists argue that in their medicinal properties it will compare with the root ginseng , especially one of his species - lofant Tibetsky . Perhaps the last statement should be taken out quite carefully, as, however, to all recommendations regarding health. In any case, until Lofant has contributed to official collections medicinal herbal. But, of course, this is a very pleasant spicy aromatic plant, whose greens and fresh and dried can be used in salads, pickles, marinades, jams, beverages.

The leaves and stem of the Lofant look very much remind mint. Naturally, as it also applies to the family gubolic Color (Clear). Some of his views (and about 25 of them) and they call: mexican mint., Korean mint, hummingbird mint. In general, with the names of this plant there is some confusion. There is an old latin name Lophanthus. and new AGASTACHE.- agasthahis; both in the literature and the sale of seeds meet the first, and the second. And if you take into account the folk names, it is enough to deal with what kind of type, it is quite difficult. Therefore, we will leave controversies about the right name to botany, and we will talk about how to grow this culture.

One of the most common species - lofant Anisova (Lophanthus Anisatus.) from North America. On its basis, varieties with white, blue, purulent accommodation inflorescences are derived. A bush (about a height near the meter) quickly grow up and looks very impressive. Therefore, the plant is appropriate in the mixturore, and on spicy beds, and in a decorative garden. Well it is in the cut.

The place for the Lofant is selected solar, with light, fertile and drained soil, it does not carry water stagnation. The plant is unpretentious, the care is to weep and loosen the Earth, in one place can grow for five to six years.

True, in frostless misfortunes in middle lane Lofant freezes. Therefore, it is more interesting to put it on a raised bed or a flowerbed, and in front of the wintering crop and hide. But even if it happens unpleasant, landing is easy to resume, inserting the culture again, as Lofant blooms in the first year after sowing. True, closer to autumn. To get more early blossom, You can grow culture through seedlings, living his small seeds in March-April. Seeds are germinated at 20 ° C. Seedlings are planted at the end of May - early June.

Easily propagate Lofant and vegetatively - the division of the bush, cuttings, grain.

Does not tolerate water stagnation.

Unpretentious, care is to loosen soil and weeping.

In frostyless winter winter freezes.

It all started quite innocently)
I wanted to deal with the purchased Lofant bags

For convenience, I numbered them and began to study the question.

It can be seen that on №1 and №2 it is written that Mexican mint is written.
№2 and №5 - mixtures.
№4 and №7 - It is written that Korean mint.
№3 and №4 - suspiciously similar to each other.
№3 - some kind of mint golden anniversary
№6 - some kind of mint flaming sunset.

I will immediately clarify that I needed Lofant, possessing Medical properties (for tea), and that is why I climbed into the network for information to clarify which Lofant from the purchased I need.

First source - Wikipedia.
Wikipedia offers such a list of the main types of multicrees / Agasthek / Lofant.

From all this list, the link with information is only one Lofant - a multicrees with wrinkle. I go on the link
and that's what is written there:

Yes, it seems that I'm looking for. Summary:
Multicrees, he is Lofant, he is agasthek.
Especially valuable is his Dosage variety,
Agastache Rugosa. / Multicolor wrinkled / Lofant Tibetan / Korean Mint /

This species is considered the only one therapeutic species Lofant, the rest - decorativee. There is still anise - but a little later later .

Among my seeds, "Korean Mint" are named only two - №4 and №7. But №4 is very similar to №3, how can I distinguish the "Korean Mint" from other variety of Lofant? And what do I have more types of Lofanta, how can they be used? I climbed to look for information on ...

But again, someone united Tibetan and Anise Lofhants, and claims that they have absolutely identical properties:

And the second time I stumble on what they write that tibetan Lofant It has white flowers, and anise - lilac ....
Where is the truth???

The most joke is that anise lofant is generally out of classifications !!!
And the firm "Aelita" manages to sell it under the guise of Issop (anise)! Although these are different plants.

More Lofant Anisova called:

Slavsman anise, Issop Giant, Anisian Medisop, Big Blue Issop

So what is he?
The only source explaining from where this Issoop Anisian writes what is what(and then without Pruf!):

"This plant you will not meet in the wild. Do not mention it encyclopedias and reference books. The fact is that Lofant Anisian brought breeders. This healing perennial from the family family is very useful, has wonderful aromatic, honey and medicinal properties. Lofant Anisian - relative Melissa and feline mint, but it acts on viruses, microbes and mushrooms is stronger than they. "

But still, I did not understand what variety from which this anise lofant was derived and it is possible to apply it as Tibetan.
And how to distinguish them all from each other.
And what I have for the seeds, in the end.

It is less understandable that No. 6 is 99% Lofant Mountain. And that is not a fact, but suppose.

Questions remained as:

1. Mexican Lofand # 1 and number 2? How to distinguish it from the rest?
2. No. 3, Golden Anniversary, is it Lofant Fennelheleva or Anise?

Photos of my "Yellow Lofant"

3. And what is Lofant Anisian? From what kind of type of Lofanta did he occur and do the medical properties of the Lofanta Tibetan? How to distinguish it from the rest?
4. №4 and №7 Is it really Korean Mint (Lofant Tibetan)?
5. What is the mixture number 5?

Answers to these questions I am extremely important, because I have to know exactly what I will dry and brew in tea.

Help hall is very welcome!)))

UPD 2.: I also found a beautiful about the "Golden Jubilee" (which was or a fennelhelev, or anise, but look like Tibetan, but not for sure))) Now he became Mexican! (Watch pictures in the frame in the "Soil" paragraph)

UPD from March 2018:
Because many ask about the results of the experiment - I will answer here.
Added a picture with seeds, for the old rumbled.


1. All Lustians failed from the list. Did not put the last bundle.
2. In connection with the birth of a child, two seasons The garden was almost abandoned, so the markers with names drowned in weeds and broke out, so the purity of the experiment was a bit broken.
3. No. 1, No. 2 and the Golden Anniversary have an identical smell of Anisa. For brewing in tea is not suitable, very specific smell. The golden anniversary did not survive on the third year. The one grew up (in the photo above) is just he was.
4. I suspect that Korean mint (second bottom) has also grown. The smell is also anise, although the leaves are slightly different.
5. Mint dusting sunset was externally not like everyone else. 2 twigs rose, and unfortunately did not survive the winter, so I did not try it ((((
So all commentators who wrote that almost all of these lops are the same and identified them as "Agasta Rugos (?), He is a multicolaser - turned out to be right.
But I still hope to find the very, useful and without anise odor.)))

Lofant Tibetan (age 3 weeks)

So, in Latin called Agastache Rugosa, or a multiloser wrinkled. The plant of the family is clarotonic, growing in the Far Eastern regions, in China. It has white collected in black, flowers, unlike the rest of the Lofant. A few years ago we brought the seeds of this plant with Altai and now we grow Lofant Tibetsky In our garden.

Useful properties of Tibetan Lofant

Lofant Tibetan is one of the main medicinal plants in chinese folk medicine, It is mass healing propertiesAnd what is important, can grow in our Ural gardens. The people of Lofant got the name "Northern Ginseng" and he fully corresponds to it. Used overground part of adult plants. The green mass of the Loffant Tibetan is rich in vitamins, essential oils, flavonoids, has a very pleasant fragrance.

Due to its unique composition, Lofant Tibetan with regular use normalizes the metabolism, gently stimulates the human's own immune power, soothes the nervous system, restores sleep. Actively applies to normalization arterial pressureFor the treatment of diseases of the digestive system, kidneys and respiratory organs. Outdoor use in skin diseases, hair gives excellent results. I note that Lofant is not addictive and has no negative side effects. But I think that you need to be cautious people suffering from pollinosis and other types of allergies.

How to grow Lofant Tibetan

Video from Alexei Sedoy about how he grows Lofant Tibetan for bees:

Grow Lofant Tibetan on your cottage plot very simple. To start . Immediately, I will say that other types of Lofant have no healing properties, and may be of interest only as aromatic and decorative plants.

Increases Lofant's raw yield biohumus fertilizer

Sowing seeds of Lofant Tibetan I spend in mid-March in peatlights of 3-5 seeds in one tablet. Containers with tablets cover transparent film. After a few days, shoots appear. It is advisable to provide seedlings good lighting And timely watering. After the first pair of real leaves, the plant is desirable to preferably feed the weak solution of complex fertilizers, such as Kemira or Fertet. It must be done to ensure that you want to eat the necessary food, because it is not enough in peat therapy, but it is sterile environment for germination of seeds.

Seedlings of Lofant Tibetan at the age of 4 weeks

In mid-April, seedlings from tablets I transplant in 200 grams. Glasses with a soil, after removing the shell with a pill. Seizians will be in them before landing for a permanent place. You can do it in the second half of May, when stable warm weather will be established. I land Lofant on the ridge according to the 50 * 50 cm scheme, and abundantly irrigate. Sometimes the house seedlings of the Lofant pulls out, but it is not scary. When landing in a bed next to a bush, it is enough to plunder a small peg of 20-30 cm, and gently tie up young stems of the Lofant to it, ensuring sufficient freedom to the plant. Pretty soon young landings will give the first increase. Stems and leaves will become markedly larger and will be very similar to nettle. After landing in the ground further care It is regular loosening, irrigation, feeding. If necessary, grown upstarts can be slightly dipped.

In July, Lofant will start blossoming, and this process stretches until the end of August. It was at the end of August that the main part of the Lofanta can be sized, leaving small, unworthy plants on the garden. They will be able to stay there until snow. And you will have the opportunity to tear the fresh leaflets of the Lofant for a cup of tea.

We collect and dry Lofant Tibetan

Sleeping stems need to be carried out at an altitude of 10-12 cm from the ground in dry mad weather. Then I take a few branches in the beam and in pairwise binding the bundles. In the attic, we strengthen the crossbar, throwing through which, shut "Parks". From the bottom under the raged downside beams of the Lofant, you can unwell a clean film, because It will crumble ripe seeds. They can be collected and the next year to use for sowing.

Despite the fact that Lofant Tibetan is perennialThe practice of his cultivation showed that the Ural frosts are destructive for the underground part of the plants. Survive only individual specimens, and are restored for quite a long time. While the newly planted young bushes are already growing at all. As a result, every year I am preparing Lofant's seedlings, and I do not hope for last year's plants.

How to choose a landing place?

If you are a happy owner of six acres, then choose especially nothing, because there is no free earth most often. But to highlight a small garden for 10-20 lofant bushes, I think you can. My acquaintances, for example, sit down the Lofant Arbor, and it provides them with a gentle and beneficial air during the rest in the gazebo, pleasant evening tea drinking, and in the composition with more shorter bright colors, very spectacular decorative View Recreation areas in the garden.

I tried to grow lofant in different parts His garden, on different soils and with varying degrees of shading. I can say that he will grow everywhere, wherever you planted Lofant's seedlings. But still, the letters of light sandy soils in the sunny place of the site were more comfortable for the Lofant. When landing in the well, I add some compost, ash and a pinch of complex mineral fertilizer. It must be said that in the shadow Lofant grows significantly worse than on the solar or slightly pronted areas. In the shade of Lofand, of course, it will also grow, but it will be low and may not even bruise. In the ideal conditions, by the end of August, we have meter spreading plants, abundantly covered with leaves and inflorescences that incredibly love bumblebees and bees. Lofant Exceptional Money! Just a find for beekeepers. And also a find for those who take care of their health through what nature gives us using plants grown in their garden. It is possible to make canceled herbal fees and therapeutic teas from garden plants In the composition with Lofant Tibetan. Well, isn't it a miracle: grow your medicine yourself?
It is only necessary to have a desire, patience and hard work, as well as learn how to competently compile herbal fees, taking into account your needs.

Lofant is called anise, fennel, dill plant due to a strong spicy smell, exhibited by its long inflorescences.

Morphological signs

The plant relates to grassy perennials, although appearance It can be confused with a semi-staple. The fact is that the above-ground part of the grass is actively branched, and each individual branch of the plant ends with its own inflorescences, forming a volumetric similarity of the shrub crown. Looks like a plant as follows.

The length of the inflorescence can reach 15 cm, and the diameter is 3 cm. Flowers are purple, pink, bare-rose color.
• Fruit. Have an oblong oval form. These are nuts brown. Inside them are a lot of smooth seeds.

For favorable conditions From the same thickets you can collect several raw yields per season, because the cut plant will grow very quickly. In traditional medicine, the healing properties of the Lofant Tibetan are also valued. It is worth saying that medical properties, as well as the chemical composition of both plants are similar. The main morphological difference of species is the color of flowers. The Tibetan species are white.

• Collection of raw materials. Garden scissors cut off shoots, retreating 10 cm from the soil. It is desirable that the length of the collected branches does not exceed 20 cm. The re-blank of the lofant for the winter implies a cutting of grass, retreating 20 cm from the soil.
• Preparation. The collected branches with inflorescences are crossed on the subject of impurities, knit in small panicles or lay out with one layer on the pallet, lined with paper or cotton fabric.
• Drying. It occurs when hanging raw materials on thick threads or placement of the pallet with grass in a shaded place, with good, preferably through ventilation. When using the dryer observe temperature mode up to 40 ° C.

The dried grass is crushed so that it is more convenient to be facing and store. Well-dried raw materials are fragility, has a characteristic spicy smell, as well as bitter taste.
