Brush crown
- Product number: 338080
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Clinopodium vulgare, also known as Satureja vulgaris
This perennial plant is native, but very rare (and protected) in our country. The plant blooms in whorls around the stem with beautiful lilac-pink flowers, which contain a lot of nectar and are therefore very popular with butterflies, bees and other insects. Height 40-50 cm.
The leaves and flowers are herbaceous flavor enhancers, fresh or dried, in dishes or raw in salads; you can also make a delicious herbal tea with them. The taste has notes of basil and thyme.
Sources mention that the plant has a good effect on digestion; we also read about wound treatment.
A brown and yellow dye is extracted from the leaves, making it a good dye plant.
