The first greens are picked 40-50 days after germination. Productivity 1.5-2 kg/m2.
The entire plant is covered with fine gray hairs and has a cucumber smell. For planting it prefers sunny or semi-shaded areas. Gives high yields on nutritious and sufficiently moist soil.
It is used in folk medicine to treat rheumatism, gout, skin diseases, as a sedative, laxative, diuretic and for the treatment of bronchi. Young leaves are used in the preparation of salads, okroshka, and cold borscht. The flowers can be dried, candied and used as dried fruit.
