Frankincense is a perennial aromatic evergreen shrub from the genus Boswellia, known for its pleasant fragrance and ability to attract attention. The plant is characterized by compact dimensions: height from 25 to 60 cm, width approximately equal to height, making it ideal for flower beds, borders, or potted compositions.
Frankincense leaves are small and silvery, while flowers are bright pink with a lavender-blue tint. Blooming begins in early summer and continues until autumn; regular removal of withered inflorescences stimulates further fruit development. The plant is heat-resistant and can grow in both sun and semi-shade, although it blooms more abundantly in full light.
Frankincense is easy to grow: the soil should be fertile but not overly saturated with water; moderate watering and protection from strong winds contribute to healthy growth. Thanks to its unpretentiousness, it is suitable for both novice florists and experienced gardeners who wish to add a fragrant element to their interior that attracts not only people but also domestic pets.
