Meum is characterized by its feathery, aromatic leaves, which bear a strong resemblance to fine, dense fern fronds. Featuring tall, hollow stems topped with compound umbels of tiny white flowers, it thrives in well-drained, sandy soils, typically found in upland and mountainous regions. Its distinct foliage not only aids in identification but also demonstrates its adaptation to avoid moisture loss in rugged terrains.
Water:
Meum prefers moist, well-drained soil, needing weekly watering to meet hydration needs. While it tolerates brief dryness, it thrives with natural rainfall, enhancing growth during the active season.
Propagation:
Propagation of meum is primarily by seed, requiring well-draining soil, adequate light, and suitable temperatures for germination. Special stratification may be needed for cold-climate species. Sow seeds in a seed-starting mix, ensuring consistent moisture, then transplant once seedlings have a strong root system.
