🌸 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.

🪻 These look stunning next to a blue-flowered plant, like Nepeta x faassenii or Lavandula angustifolia

Tinctoria comes from the Latin word tinctorius, which means "pertaining to dyeing" or "used for dyeing."

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.
