At the same time, flowers of "Alleso" cultivar contained the highest mases of manganese (25,0 mg/kg of dry mass), iron (188,0 mg/kg of dry mass), zinc (32,2 mg/kg of dry mass) and nickel (4,26 mg/kg of dry mass). Flowers of the other cultivars ("Sampo" and "Samyl") had similar contents of those elements.
