Short description

It is endowed with small, elliptical and opposite leaves. Its seeds are lens-shaped, shiny, smooth, and have a dark brown tint. The medicinal herb hernia differs from other plants in its yellowish-green flowers collected in balls.

The plant is harvested in the summer. Burnet blooms from April to August, the fruits ripen, as a rule, at the end of June. It is recommended to dry the collected raw materials in a special device (electric dryer) or a shaded place, then place it in a glass jar and close it tightly.

But where does hernia grass grow? Its habitats are forest edges, sandy and dry soil, wastelands, roadsides. The habitat of this plant covers Central Europe, Western Siberia, Africa and Asia.

Growing hernia in the garden

Hernia glabra and other varieties of the plant can be grown in the garden from seeds. Seed material is collected from wild bushes or purchased from the horticultural department. The area for planting the plant should be drained, with a good level of lighting or with slight shading.

The crop is grown on nutritious soil or sandy soils. Planting hernia grass on saline lands is not recommended. Dense clay soils need to be supplemented with river sand to improve drainage characteristics. For 1-2 sq. m of soil add 1 bucket of sand.

The seeds of the plant are sown in the soil before winter, and the plantings are sprinkled with soil. The seed material undergoes hardening and will germinate in the spring. Shoots appear in May-June. Side shoots begin to appear on seedlings in July. In the first year of planting, the hernia needs to be watered regularly for rapid, stable growth. Subsequently, seasonal rainfall will be sufficient for the drought-resistant crop. Excessive watering is not recommended, as stagnation of water in the roots will cause the plant to deteriorate.

The plant crop does not need abundant fertilizing. It is enough to add liquid organic fertilizer (mullein, bird droppings) to the soil once a season. The culture is winter-hardy, so the bushes are not covered for the winter. The hernia plant is resistant to insect pests and diseases.
