Arnica (Compositae)
Arnica is the famous remedy for sprains and bruises. Chammisonis, or meadow arnica, is considered equally medicinal to the more commonly used montana species, but it is much easier to grow and it will grow well in most soils, but thrives in acidic soils. The plant grows multiple flower stalks to 18” with yellow, daisy-like flowers blooming through Spring and early Summer over a mound of low foliage. The name arnica possibly comes from the Greek word for lamb, arni, a reference to its hairy leaves. We have also been growing the better known Montana species. It has been proven difficult to establish, but we continue to experiment. We’ll keep you posted!
