Description
The Tanacetum or Chrysanthemum coccineum Robinson's Giants, also known as pyrethrum or pink chrysanthemum, is a perennial with summer flowering, wonderful in bouquets. Its daisy-shaped flowers in red, pink or white contain a natural insecticide, pyrethrin, which gives them a camphor scent. The finely cut foliage resembles that of ferns or chervil, and is remarkably beautiful and healthy. Highly visited by butterflies, these plants will bring a lot of cheerfulness and rhythm to summer flower beds. They tolerate ordinary soil, require a sunny exposure, and tolerate drought better than humidity.
The pink pyrethrum Robinson's Giant is a herbaceous perennial plant from the aster family, originating from a wild plant native to the Caucasus called Tanacetum coccineum. It forms bushy and light clumps, 75 cm (30in) tall and 35 to 45 cm (14 to 18in) wide, adorned with fresh and vibrant green foliage, so fine and ornamental that it provides an ideal cradle to welcome its flowery bouquets. From June to August, sturdy stems rise, bearing solitary flower heads measuring 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3in) in diameter, with white, pink or red ligules around a central yellow disc. They emit a scent reminiscent of camphor and are very nectariferous.
Easy to grow in full sun to partial shade, Robinson's Giants pyrethrums add colour and attract butterflies to the garden. Plant them in large groups to harvest plenty of flowers for your bouquets and enliven both the vegetable garden and flower beds or rockeries, under the summer sun. These plants are hardy down to -12°C (10.4°F) and tolerate drought quite well.
The pink chrysanthemum is a close relative of Tanacetum cinerariifolium, famous for its insecticidal properties. Although T. coccineum contains less pyrethrin than T. cinerariifolium, its flowers can be transformed into an insecticide using the same process.

Planting and care
Sow from late winter to late spring (February to May) or from late summer to autumn (August to October). Sow the seeds in pots indoors or sow directly in a well-prepared and loosened soil in late spring, once all danger of frost has passed. For best results, choose a very sunny location and a well-drained soil, not too rich. For indoor sowing, sow in pots or trays containing 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 (55.4°F). 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. Space them 30cm (12in) apart. Water regularly during the first two weeks for potted plants to establish. Increase watering during periods of drought or extreme heat. Additional fertilizer is generally not necessary. Removing faded flowers will extend the flowering period. Pruning the foliage after flowering will help rejuvenate the plant. It is advisable to divide clumps every two years, in spring or autumn, to maintain plant vigor.

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.
