Arnica chamissonis potted plant, organic
$7.50
Family: Aster (Asteraceae)
Hardy to Zones 4 to 10
(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.
Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

WendySue Hagins –
I live in zone 3; will this arnica survive the severe winters here or should I pot it and bring it in the house? Thanks!

Admin Diana –
Arnica are accustomed to extremely cold alpine winters and do best when planted to habitat and do poorly if potted up or brought indoors.
