💦 High drought tolerance once established
☀️ Sun-loving
👍 Low-maintenance: Aromatic foliage deters some pests, and the plant requires minimal care.
🌸 Long flowering period

🌞 Anthemis thrive in full sun and are particularly sensitive to excess moisture in winter - ensuring that their soil is well-draining and even poor will significantly increase their lifespan.
✂️ Cutting back the stems to 20cm from the ground in early September promotes the reconstitution of clumps at the end of the season, and even a slight regrowth, allowing them to withstand a rainy winter.
Extremely drought tolerance and low maintenance

Anthemis cupaniana – Sicilian Chamomile with Silver Leaves & White Daisies

The term "cupaniana" honors Francesco Cupani, an 18th-century Italian monk and naturalist renowned for his botanical studies.

Anthemis is a genus of aromatic flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, closely related to Chamaemelum, so our Anthemis is a close cousin of our Chamomile.

To break it down further: When anyone mentions Anthemis in the garden, they are often talking about hybrids of Cota tinctoria subsp. sancti-johannis and Anthemis tinctoria.

Whichever words you chose to use, this family attracts heaps of pollinators - adding ecological value and general natural beauty to your garden and terrace.
