Arnica, Meadow Arnica chamissonis (pernnial) Perennial in the Asteraceae. Lovely yellow flowers accompanied by bright green foliage. A native to western North America. German Commission E determined this variety is comparable to the much over harvested European variety, Arnica montana, for its anti-inflammatory effects. A nice plant for gardeners or people looking to grow popular medicinal varieties in replacement of wild crafting. Plants reach about 24-30” when mature. Plants can be propagated from root cuttings once established and will spread rhizomatically. Plant in loose acidic loam soil in a sunny and moist location. Press seeds into spongy potting soil and keep moist and cool until germination in 15-21 days. 0.1g ~40 seeds Photo credits: By H. Zell - Own work, CC BY-SA 3, By H.
