The main aim of this research was to improve the knowledge of cultivation of Dracocephalum moldavica L., by studying some aspects of biology and technology, adaptability to environmental conditions; the studies were carried out at NIRDPSB Brasov, within the Laboratory of Technology and Good Agricultural Practices, Department of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. Originally cultivated in Central Asia and acclimatized in Central and Eastern Europe, Dracocephalum moldavica L. is traditionally used for medicinal and aromatic purposes and is also a valuable honey plant. In order to determine the optimal sowing time for Dracocephalum moldavica L., an experiment with 5 planting variants was set up in three replications, following the randomized block method, during 2015 - 2018. The area of a plot was 7.5 m2, the experimental area including paths was 142.5 m2; the number of plants per variant was 60 plants, and the total per experiment was 900 plants.
