Description
Le Tanacetum parthenium ‘Amazone’ est une variété de Matricaire ou Grande camomille qui s'orne de nombreux pompons jaunes, très lumineux, parfaits en fleurs à couper ou pour égayer les massifs d'été. Cette sélection, productive et bien ramifiée, se cultive en pleine terre ou en pot. Elle fleurit en abondance de juin à septembre. De culture facile, durable en vase, c'est une valeur sûre pour les bouquets champêtres.
Les graines enrobées sont des semences entourées d’une fine pellicule qui augmente leur volume : elles se manipulent plus facilement et permettent un semis plus précis et homogène.
Appartenant à la famille des Astéracées, l’espèce botanique T. parthenium est connue sous les synonymes botaniques de Chrysanthemum parthenium, Matricaria parthenium et Pyrethrum parthenium. D’origine eurasiatique (Balkans, Anatolie, Caucase), elle s’est largement naturalisée en Europe et au-delà.
‘Amazone’ a été sélectionnée pour la fleur coupée : elle se caractérise par des capitules bien doubles, hémisphériques, entièrement jaunes, portés en corymbes sur des tiges solides et bien ramifiées. Le port de la plante est buissonnant, érigé et touffu. En pleine terre, elle atteint en une saison 60 à 80 cm de haut pour 30 à 40 cm de large ; en pot de 5 à 10 litres, compter 40 à 60 cm selon la richesse du substrat. Les tiges sont vertes, fines, mais robustes. Le feuillage, très découpé, d'un vert frais, dégage une odeur aromatique au froissement. Il est caduc en hiver. Les fleurs forment des “boutons” hémisphériques remplis de minuscules fleurons jaunes ; elles mesurent 1,5 à 2 cm de diamètre et se renouvellent de juin à septembre. La plante se ressème modérément si le sol est nu. Rustique jusqu'à -15 °C, cette variété est souvent cultivée en annuelle ou vivace de courte vie.
La Matricaire ‘Amazone’ s'installe dans les massifs de style prairie ou “cottage”. Elle fait la liaison entre les fleurs à hautes tiges et les vivaces basses. Installez-la par petits groupe de 3 à 7 sujets au premier ou second plan, au soleil, dans un sol drainé ; en pot, choisissez un contenant de 25–30 cm de diamètre avec un substrat léger. Son coloris jaune doux s'accorde parfaitement aux floraisons blanches ou crème : mariez-la par exemple avec le cosmos ‘Sensation Purity’, l'échinacée 'Milkshake', l’achillée ‘Moonshine’ et la matricaire blanche ‘Tetra White Wonder’. Ces plantes composent des scènes estivales légères et donnent des brassées de fleurs à couper pendant des semaines.
Nos conseils : tuteurez dans les sites venteux, arrosez régulièrement, mais sans excès, coupez court après chaque vague de floraison. Pour la coupe, récoltez les tiges quand la majorité des capitules est ouverte ; la tenue en vase atteint 7 à 10 jours avec un conservateur.
Le nom vernaculaire “feverfew” en anglais rappelle l’usage traditionnel de la Grande camomille contre la fièvre, attesté de longue date dans les herbiers antiques, même si ces usages ne relèvent pas de la présente variété ornementale. Dans les jardins de cottage britanniques, la matricaire est appréciée depuis des siècles pour ses tiges fines et son abondance de petites fleurs, utilisées fraîches ou séchées.

Planting and care
Sow Tanacetum parthenium 'Amazone' 6 to 8 weeks before planting out in the garden, after the last frosts, in a seed tray. Use good quality compost. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling compost or vermiculite, firm lightly and water thoroughly with a fine spray. Place your seed tray in the light, without direct sun, at a temperature of 15°C to 20°C. Lower the temperature slightly at night.
The growth is rapid. Once the young plants have reached a height of 5 cm, prick them out into pots. Two weeks before their final planting out, begin to acclimatise them gradually to the outdoor temperature.
By the end of May, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant out your young plants. Choose a location in full sun. Space your plants 30 to 40 cm apart.
To obtain more ramified plants, pinch out the growing tips 2 to 4 times during cultivation.
Remove faded flowers to encourage flowering.
You can also sow directly in situ, after the last frosts.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
