Lallemantia iberica, known commonly as dragon's head, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae.

Traditionally, it is used as a medical plant for the treatment of common cold, coughing, stomach and abdominal pain.

It could be used as preventative measures against cancer and slowing of the aging process and its analgesic, antibacterial and antioxidant effects are of high interest and are currently researched.

This shows great potential in the chemical industry as an epoxidized oil, which can in turn be used for plasticizers and stabilizers in rubber and also in the production of paints, varnishes and linoleum due to its fast drying ability.

After a proper tillage the optimal time for sowing is between mid-march and mid-april, when the temperature is constantly over 2 °C and 3 °C.

[9] To sum up, autumn sowing with thiobacillus, varmicompost or NPK fertilizer create a high antioxidant activity.

The stubble height should be as low as possible, because the seed set starts at approximately 10 cm above the soil.

Inflorescences emerge from the leaf axils and bear white, lipped flowers each about 1 cm (0.4 in) long.
