Pyrethrum is an ornamental flowering plant that is unpretentious.
With its buds, pyrethrum resembles daisies, but only larger and more colorful.
How to grow
The best time to plant pyrethrum in peat cups is when the first pair of true leaves appear.
When planting in open ground, it is worth considering that the plants are perennial and can live in one place for up to 4 years, safely producing flower stalks.
Therefore, they need to be planted at a distance of at least 30 centimeters.
Care for Pyrethrum
It is recommended to irrigate and dig up the plant at least 2-3 times a year to renew the earthen coma and fertilize the plant.
The air temperature in the pyrethrum growth zone should be at least 20 degrees C for optimal plant growth.
How does pyrethrum overwinter
Pyrethrum can be grown as a perennial plant. In autumn, faded shoots are trimmed, the soil around the bushes is mulched and covered with spruce branches.
In this form, they winter well in the climatic conditions of the middle zone.
