Pyrethrum

Sowing method: March-June in trays, May-June outdoors in a seedbed. Seeds germinate quickly; keep evenly moist (not wet) at ± 20°C. Cover the seeds only thinly. Place a cloth over them to retain moisture better. Remove the cloth immediately after emergence. As soon as the seedlings are manageable, transplant them into pots or directly into their final position.
