ARNICA, MOUNTAIN TOBACCO
- Unit price
- / per
Arnica montana, also known as wolf's bane, leopard's bane, mountain tobacco and mountain arnica, is a moderately toxic European flowering plant about 18–60 cm (7.1–23.6 in) tall aromatic fragrant, herbaceous perennial.
Arnica montana is widespread across most of Europe, and is considered extinct in Hungary and Lithuania. Arnica montana grows in nutrient-poor siliceous meadows or clay soils. It is becoming rarer, particularly in the north of its distribution, largely due to increasingly intensive agriculture and commercial wildcrafting (foraging).
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Height: 50cm, 20"
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 15
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
