Leuzea

Leuzea - Maralroot

The naming of the plant family to which Leuzea belongs is subject to change. Some species are assigned to the genus Centaurea or Rhaponticum, while others continue to be called Leuzea. The genus Leuzea consists of species, whose flowers resemble those of thistles. They are plants for a sunny spot in dry to normal moist soil, where they will attract many insects. Leuzea fits well in a more natural planting. The roots of Leuzea have been used for centuries to increase overall vitality and develop muscle tissue.
