Abstract
This paper presents the results of an introductory study of two species of Agastache Clayt. ex Gronov genus: A. mexicana (Kunth) Lint & Epling and A. rupestris (Greene) Standl. The research was con- ducted in the South-Ural Botanical Garden-Institute (Bashkir Cis-Urals, northern forest-steppe). Agastache are aromatic, medicinal, decorative and flowering plants. The seasonal rhythm of growth and development, morphometric parameters were studied, the success rate of introduction was assessed. Agastache belong to the group of spring-summer-autumn-green plants with a period of winter rest, spring awakening period and late summer flowering period. Spring shoot growth is in early May, on average; for A. rupestris, the budding phase is on 19.07, for A. mexicana it is on 23.07; for A. rupestris, the flowering starts on 25.07, for A. mexicana, it begins on 04.08. The flowering period of Agastache species lasts 35 days, so they are classified as long-flowering plants. The species go through a full life cycle, including the formation of full seeds. Plants demonstrate high rates of growth and development, forming a developed green top, but cannot winter in the open ground. Species reproduce through seeds in spring. The introductory study has shown that Agastache species are promising for cultivation and can be used for creating fragrant gardens, as a medicinal raw material in folk medicine and as a seasoning in cooking.
