Description
Anthemis carpatica 'Karpatenschnee', also known as Carpathian Chamomile or Mountain Anthemis, forms a small spreading cushion with finely cut, green and silver foliage that is adorned in spring and summer with an abundance of small white daisies with yellow centres. Derived from a rare species, it is fantastic in borders, pots, or rockeries. Easy to grow in poor, rather dry soil.
Anthemis carpatica belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to the mountains of central Europe. It is considered by some botanists as a subspecies of Anthemis cretica. 'Karpatenschnee' is a selected cultivar for its silver foliage and floribundity. This deciduous perennial plant, with its spreading growth habit, forms a small cushion 30cm (12in) tall when in flower, 15cm (6in) for the foliage, with a spread of 30 to 40cm (12 to 16in). The particularly long flowering period takes place from May to August. The plant is covered with a multitude of small white heads with a bright yellow central disc. The finely divided, deciduous foliage is grey on the upper side and green on the underside, both refined and bright. The foliage is also aromatic.
Anthemis are sun-loving plants par excellence and they particularly dislike excess moisture in winter. Plant them in well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline soil. These plants are not very demanding in terms of soil quality. However, in heavy soil, their lifespan is shorter than in poor and dry soil. Their cold resistance is greater when the soil is dry. Trim the clumps slightly after flowering to promote the growth of new shoots and encourage a rebloom in autumn, which better prepares the plants to withstand a rainy winter. This operation also aids the formation of a beautiful rosette of leaves in winter and extends the life of the plant.
'Karpatenschnee' will find its place in containers, rockeries, and borders, and will form a ground cover alongside other small cushion-forming plants such as silenes, armerias, saxifrages, 'Boughton Silver' wormwood, and thymes.

Planting and care
Unconditional sun lovers par excellence, anthemis fear excess humidity in winter more than anything else. Plant them in ordinary, well-drained, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly calcareous soil. These plants are not very demanding on soil quality. However, in heavy soil, their lifespan is shorter than in poor, dry soil. Their cold resistance is greater when the soil is dry. Prune the clumps slightly after flowering to encourage the growth of new shoots and promote a second flowering in autumn, which better prepares the plants to withstand a rainy winter. This operation also allows for the development of a beautiful rosette of leaves in winter and extends the life of the plant.

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.
