Description

A very aromatic, beautiful annual medicinal and spice plant with a wonderful citrus aroma. The flowers and leaves, fresh and dried, are very suitable for preparing a fresh herbal tea, lemonade or iced tea. This plant can also be used as a spice for desserts, salads and fish dishes. As it is said to have digestive and liver stimulating properties, it is also suitable for the preparation of herbal liqueurs.

In addition, the Moldavian dragonhead is a beautiful, very nectar-rich flowering plant that enriches every flower bed. The blue-violet and sometimes white blossoms look like a dragon's mouth about to spit fire immediately. They are constantly visited by bees and other insects, which is why dracocephalum is said to be an even better and more productive melliferou plant than phacelia.
