Plant pyrethrum (Pyretrum, in translation fromGreek "feast" - "fire"), probably named so in honor of the fact that almost all of its species are used as antipyretic. The genus is quite extensive - more than one hundred species, eighty percent of which live in the wild.
Pyrethrum - landing and care
Семена немахрового пиретрума, напоминающие семена asters, remain viable for up to three years. Perfectly grow on any inconvenience, cold-resistant. The soil does not like clay only, where water stagnates. Its nutritional value does not matter. Shadow is also not critical, you do not need to cover the flower. Every three years pyrethrum should be replanted, because the bushes grow very actively, the flowers become smaller. After flowering, if you do not need to collect seeds, the bushes are pruned at ground level.
Breeding methods
If you intend to save the parent formplants do not need to sow pyrethrum. Planting and care is even easier if you do this by dividing or by root and green cuttings. However, many gardeners take a different look at the cultivation of this unpretentious miracle. When breeding seeds, the color is not preserved, the flowers of feverfew grow a variety. Therefore, it is more interesting for curious people to propagate it with seeds and expect surprises from their pet every time.
