Kotovnik Fassen "Six Hills Giant", P9 P9, 1 pc, spring 2024

Kotovnik Fassen is a perennial with strongly unceived shoots 40-50 cm high. The fragrance of the kotnik resembles the aroma of rose, geranium and lemon at the same time. The leaves are gray-green, lavender flowers, in spike-shaped inflorescences, blooms from late June to frost. A kotovnik is a small herbaceous plant that has a pleasant smell and belongs to the labeling family. The Kotovnik family is quite numerous - it has more than two hundred species. Of these, about 80 grow in Russia. More than others, a cat’s catnip is common in our country, which is often confused with lemon balm, calling lemon mint. But, unlike her, he is able to bloom in the first year of his life. This usually happens in late June or at the very beginning of July and lasts a little more than a month. The flowers of the kotovnik are small, white-purple or white, sometimes purple-violet with specks, collected in false mutats. From these mutations at the top of the shoots, both main and side, oblong inflorescences are formed. Seeds begin to ripen at the very end of July or even in August. They are similar to small-head-shaped nuts of dark brown, brown or almost black, with a small silver tint. Each kitchener fruit consists of four such nuts.
