Description
Anthemis sancti-johannis is a perennial plant of Bulgarian origin, and one of the hardiest in its genus. Very floriferous and full of natural beauty, it offers abundant flowering from June to September, with beautiful bright yellow-orange heads, with a more yellow centre. It has an upright and slightly loose habit and fine dark green, somewhat greyish foliage, which is evergreen in mild climates. This simple plant, a cousin of chamomile, appreciates well-drained, rocky, sandy, poor soils, even occasionally dry, and is not afraid of summer heat. In every way, it is a superb and generous plant that will enhance your sunny flower beds and rockeries, as well as your bouquets.
Anthemis sancti-johannis is also known as orange chamomile or St. John's chamomile. This short-lived perennial belongs to the Asteraceae family and is native to the mountains of Bulgaria, where it survives very low temperatures of around -30°C (-22°F). It will reach a medium height of 40 to 60cm (16 to 4in). Its growth is rapid, forming clumps 50cm (20in) wide. Flowering takes place from July to September, if faded flowers are regularly removed. The heads resemble pretty daisies, 5cm (2in) wide, with a dark yellow centre and bright orange-yellow ray florets. The stems are often ramified, with green bipinnately-lobed leaves with a whitish and villous underside. The aromatic foliage is mostly deciduous. It is dark green and somewhat greyish, with a resemblance to ferns.
Being sun lovers par excellence, anthemis fear excess humidity in winter more than anything else. Forming spectacular rounded clumps in a very short time, orange chamomile looks stunning when paired with blue-flowered plants such as perennial flax, chicory, bugloss, or borage. It can be very useful for starting a new garden after construction work. It can be planted in wildflower beds alongside simple flowers such as snapdragons, wallflowers, lupins, or common sage, as well as in well-maintained flower beds, rockeries, borders, and even in a cutting garden. Its foliage pairs well with grey-leaved plants like wormwood and old-fashioned roses.

Planting and care
Anthemis plants are especially sensitive to excessive moisture during winter. Plant them in full sun in well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, or strongly calcareous soil. These plants are not very demanding in terms of soil quality. However, in heavy soil, their lifespan is shorter compared to poor and dry soil. Their cold resistance is greater in dry soil. Pruning the stems to 20cm (8in) from the ground in early September promotes the regrowth of clumps at the end of the season, and may even result in a slight resurgence, enabling them to withstand a rainy winter.

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.
