(Meadow Arnica) Creeping alpine herbaceous perennial native to the American Mountain West.  Traditional usage (TWM): German Commission E has determined that this Meadow Arnica is interchangeable with Arnica montana for its antiinflammatory effects.  Arnica chamissonis is less elevation dependent than Arnica montana, and yields well from multiple flower stalks.  Planted in loose, acidic loam soil, and given a sunny and moist position, this plant will make a carpet of live roots within a couple of years.  Highly florific when happy.  One of the better herbal bedding plants, as it fills the bed with flowers and remains short.  Space plants 6 inches to a foot apart to get started.
