Rock Garden Plants A to Z:
BACK
Anacyclus- (Mt. Atlas Daisy)
Anacyclus depressus |
A beauty for the sink garden, scree or rockery. The Carrot-like root
produces a rosette of prostrate stems, each stem bearing grey-green ferny
foliage and a Daisy-like flower at the tip. In bud only the red undersides
of the petals can be seen, but when open the flower is a pure white Daisy.
This plant from Atlas Mountains of N. Africa is hardy and not difficult to
grow if you meet its two basic needs. Free draining, gritty soil with a covering
of gravel and a sheltered site which is unshaded.
VARIETIES:
Unless you are willing to search through the specialist catalogues you will
find just species.

listed as A. pyrethrum
depressus. The basic details are height
2 in. spread 1 ft. Flowering period is May - August, flowers 1-2 in. across.

& SOIL: Requires well-drained open soil - dull sun is essential.
