Sowing instructions: The seeds of Anacyclus pyrethrum, also known as Bertram's root, should be sown in spring when the danger of frost has passed. First prepare the seedbed by making it well-drained and adding a little sand if necessary. Spread the seeds thinly and cover them lightly with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil constantly moist, but avoid waterlogging. The first seedlings should appear after around 10-14 days. As soon as the plants are big enough, you can separate them to a distance of about 20-30 cm to give them enough space to grow.

Tips and tricks: Anacyclus pyrethrum prefers a sunny location and thrives best in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The plant is relatively easy to care for and only requires moderate watering. To promote growth, you can occasionally feed the plants with an organic fertilizer. Cut off faded flowers regularly to encourage flower formation and keep the plant healthy. Once established, Anacyclus pyrethrum is quite drought resistant, so it is important not to overwater the plant. In colder regions, it is advisable to protect the plant with a light layer of mulch in winter.
