Species from Aggastache genus are part of mint family (Lamiaceae)
and their flowers represent a lure for insects (bees, butterflies etc.). The common
name of hyssop comes from the plant’s hyssop flavour. Commercially, this plant
is considered as having culinary importance. Several varieties of this species
were selected in Canada, for their essential oil, which contains methyl chavicol.
The species was cultivated in Moldavia, as an experiment, for essential oil production.
The herb (Agastache foeniculi herba) is used for therapeutic purposes
in treating cardiovascular, nerve and gastrointestinal affections, in treating
cold, fever (North America Indies used the infusion for this intent) and as a
diaphoretic. It also has antiemetic, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
It improves throat pains and cold symptoms. The present study aimed to determine
seed germination, by using classical methods- on paper under layer, in Linhardt
dishes and in blotting paper envelopes. Seeds were 1, 2 and 3 years old. The results
show that seed germination of Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze, is
influenced by age and external factors (temperature and light). TP (Top of Paper)
and BP (Between Paper) methods both influence the germinating faculty. |

Agastache foeniculum has its origins in North-America. In Europe has been
planted for the first time as a decorative plant in flower gardens (Small E., 2006). For species
Agastache foeniculum varies common names have been used: Anise hyssop, Blue giant
hyssop, Giant fennel hyssop (Allen Gary, The Herbalist In The Kitchen, 2007). Multiplication
of the species can be achieved by transplantation of the seedlings in cellular packages or small
containers, 15 to 20 days after seeding (Armitage A.M. and Laushman J.M., 2003).
Multiplication of the species can be achieved by transplantation of the seedlings in
cellular packages or small containers, 15 to 20 days after seeding. The most recommended
temperatures for young plants are bellow 15°C. The plants will bloom at 12-16 weeks after
seeding (Armitage A.M. and Laushman J.M., 2003).
Separation of the stalks is performed in the spring from mature plants, over 2 or 3
years old. Sowing is done by using young stalks from the base potted in pots in the
greenhouse in light shadow. In about 3 weeks the young plants will have their roots formed
and they will be ready to be planted in the field in the summer (Falticeanu Marcela, Munteanu
N., 2010).
During the seedling the experiment took place in the greenhouse, in plastic trays,
throughout April and May at temperatures over 20°C. First observations have been made after
7 days when the first 2 leaves sprouted, followed by observations every 7 days as the other
leaves were forming. For observations, over 80 plants have been chosen to be measured
targeting their hight and the number of leaves.
The texture of the soil for obtaining good seedlings of Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze
has to be clay like.
The time needed to form the first pair of leaves at 20°C is 7 days. The next leaves are
formed at aprox. the same period of time, 7 days.
To obtain the seedling of Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze in the greenhouse
during April and May we recommend that the temperature should be over 20°C. |
