Masses of nectar-rich daisies top the feathery foliage of this sun-loving, annual wildflower in summer. It looks wonderful when allowed to naturalise in a meadow or orchard, but it’s also useful for adding summer colour to mixed borders with a softer, more relaxed feel.

Seeds sown in autumn will usually go on to flower earlier than those sown in spring.

How to care for Anthemis arvensis:

Anthemis thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, preferring sandy or loamy conditions. Protect young plants from slugs and snails, especially in spring.

Regular deadheading will prolong flowering, encouraging a continuous display of soft yellow daisy-like blooms throughout summer. Cut back spent stems after flowering to maintain a compact habit and promote fresh growth.

Divide congested clumps every few years in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain vigour.

Sowing instructions:

Sow directly into a well-prepared seedbed and keep weed-free. When large enough to handle, gently plant the seedlings out at 30cm intervals.
