Nicandra physaloides / Nicandra physaloides

Medicinal annual plant of the nightshade family. It grows well on the territory of Ukraine. In height and width can reach a meter.

Nikandra can be planted to decorate walls and fences, it is especially good as single plants or in small groups on the lawn, near the terrace or porch. Branches with fruits cut in autumn before frost are perfectly dried and used in winter, dry bouquets and compositions.

Care and Cultivation of Nicandra physalis-shaped

Nikandra is a heat-loving and drought-resistant plant. It grows well and develops on light nutrient soils, prefers well-lit, sunny places. For normal growth needs space.

Application in medicine

For medicinal purposes, grass (stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) is used. Decoction and infusion of herbs are used for cardiovascular diseases. In folk medicine, a decoction of the herb is used for malaria, mental illness, as a diuretic for diseases of the kidneys, bladder, heart disease, and urolithiasis.

Sowing seeds of Nikandra

Nikandra from seeds is grown in two ways - seedlings and directly sowing into the ground.

For seedlings, plant seeds in bowls in mid-April. When the seedlings get stronger, plant the plants in separate flowerpots. In the garden, plants should be planted when the threat of spring frosts has passed (as a rule, this is the second half of May). Flowering occurs in a month and a half and continue to bloom until frost.
In the garden, we sow the seeds in May, immediately to a permanent place. We sow in holes at a distance of 35-45 cm from each other, several seeds in each. Seedlings appear in 8-10 days. After the appearance of plants in each well, we leave only 1 plant. They bloom in the second half of July and continue to bloom until frost.
