General Information:
Anthemis are free flowering to provide an abundance of daises all summer and fall. The foliage is elegantly cut. Avoid heavier soils for these pest free plants.
Plant Care:
Can be pinched before flowering (mid May) to encourage bushiness. Must have a well drained soil. Best to cut off spent flowers to encourage fall vegetative growth for vigor and to prevent seeding. Can divide every 2 or 3 years in Spring.
