Anthemis chrysantha (known in Spanish as manzanilla de Escombreras or "Escombreras chamomile") is an Ibero-North African annual asteraceae endemism present in a few Cartagenan and Algerian islets and coastal locations. Researchers have observed enough differences between the Spanish and Algerian populations so as to conclude that they are separate subspecies.The plant was described by Jacques Etienne Gay.
Golden chamomile is fairly resistant to disease and typically does not suffer from frequent illnesses. Nevertheless, it can be affected by pests and pathogens present in its surroundings. Such infections are usually mild. In terms of care, this plant requires moderate maintenance. Regular pruning is needed to preserve a tidy appearance and support healthy growth. Fertilizing can also help encourage flowering. Golden chamomile is appropriate for anyone with outdoor space, like a garden or patio, and does not demand extensive gardening experience. It may need more attention when grown indoors.
How to keep Anthemis Chrysantha.
Light
Golden chamomile is a sun-loving herbaceous perennial native to open habitats and is commonly found in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
Temperature
Golden chamomile can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be limited by different combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the risk of Golden chamomile dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can increase the plant’s survival rate.
Fertilizer
The best time to fertilize a Golden chamomile is in early spring, when it is coming out of dormancy and starting active growth. Fertilizing supplies essential nutrients for healthy development. Although Golden chamomile needs relatively little fertilizer, applying it once a year can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting blooms.
