Brachanthemum

Brachanthemum is a perennial herb distinguished by its woolly, silver-gray foliage and daisy-like flowers that bloom primarily in late spring. Endemic to rocky, arid regions, brachanthemum's dense, mat-forming growth habit and tough leaves help it conserve moisture and endure harsh sunlight, making it well-adapted to survive in its challenging native habitat.

Water: Brachanthemum prefers an environment similar to its natural habitat, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks due to its drought tolerance. When grown outdoors, adjust the watering schedule according to rainfall patterns to prevent overwatering during wet seasons.

Propagation: Brachanthemum propagation methods include seed sowing, cuttings, division, or tissue culture. Success hinges on optimal light, stable temperatures, and well-draining soil. Moderate difficulty may arise with root development. For seeds: collect, treat for dormancy, sow in a light soil mix, provide warmth, maintain moisture, and transplant seedlings with true leaves.
