How to Grow and Care for Anacyclus

Anacyclus clavatus is a member of the daisy family commonly known as whitebuttons. Its common name comes from the fact that the small flowers look like white buttons from afar. It is native to North Africa and Europe.

Yellow anacyclus (Anacyclus radiatus) is a daisy-like flower typically found along rocky and sandy slopes but also has been known to invade cropland. The "radiatus" of its Latin name refers to the star-shaped arrangement of its petals.

It is an annual tomentose-looking plant, somewhat creepy with erect stems, with the leaves deeply divided into linear segments. The flowers of the disc are yellow, grouped in solitary chapters of 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter, and have no apparent ligules, since these are not generally longer than the involvement, although occasionally the latter may exceed somewhat.
