Description
The 'Kelwayi' Dyer's Chamomile, known by its Latin name Anthemis tinctoria, is a branching undershrub with highly dissected foliage, reminiscent of fennel, in a grey-green colour. From spring to autumn, it is covered with small bright yellow daisies with a darker yellow centre. This perennial is very hardy and easy to grow in well-drained soil, ideal for rock gardens or sunny slopes.
Anthemis tinctoria, also known as False Chamomile or Dyer's Chamomile, belongs to the asteraceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia Minor. 'Kelwayi' Anthemis forms a medium-sized plant, reaching 50 to 70 cm high and 50 cm wide at maturity. It has a bushy habit and forms a mound of very light foliage from spring onwards. Its growth is rapid. The abundant flowering takes place from May-June to September-October, if faded flowers are regularly removed. The flowers resemble small semi-double, 2 cm wide daisies with a dark yellow centre. Surrounding it are peripheral, ligulate, female, bright yellow ray florets. The stems are well-branched, with green leaves and a greyish and hairy underside. The abundant foliage is dark green, deciduous, and aromatic when crushed. This variety readily self-seeds in the garden.
Anthemis plants thrive in sunny and well-drained soil, and they dislike excessive moisture in winter. The soil should therefore be well-drained, which is their only requirement. Plant them in ordinary, limestone, neutral, or slightly acidic soil. They form rounded and flowering clumps, which can be combined with blue-flowered plants such as asters, lavender, borage, and perennial flax. In countryside flower beds, alongside simple flowers like snapdragons, wallflowers, baptisias, or common sage, they quickly form rounded and flowering clumps. They can also be planted in rock gardens and borders. Their foliage pairs well with grey-leaved plants like wormwoods. They also thrive in pots.

Planting and care
Anthemis tinctoria can be sown under cover or directly in open ground in spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October).
Sow the seeds in pots indoors from March or sow directly in well-prepared and loosened soil in late spring, once all danger of frost has passed. For best results, choose a very sunny location and well-drained, not too rich soil.
For indoor sowing, sow in pots or trays of good compost. Barely cover the seeds with a pinch of compost and make sure the substrate remains moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually takes 30 to 60 days at 13°C. Transplant the seedlings into pots when they are large enough to handle. Plant them in their final location in late spring or early summer, after the last frost, 30 cm apart. Water regularly during the first two weeks for potted plants to establish. Increase watering during periods of drought or extreme heat. Additional feeding is generally not necessary. Removing faded flowers will prolong the flowering time. Pruning the foliage after flowering will help rejuvenate the plant. It is best to divide clumps every two years, in spring or autumn, to maintain plant vigour.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
