Persian daisy (mix) - Chrysanthemum coccineum.
Bright and large-flowered perennial "daisies".
Homeland - Ciscaucasia, Eastern Transcaucasia. Here in the mountains in late June - early July you can find blooming pyrethrum of all colors, from white to dark cherry.
Terry forms are also frequent. Such a huge variety of natural forms and colors has long attracted the attention of flower growers.
Feverfew has been cultivated for over 200 years.

Tanacetum coccineum

Persian Chrysanthemum is an upright perennial that becomes slightly bushy over time.
The plant usually reaches 50 to 60 cm in height.
It has rather stiff and branched shoots and green bipinnate leaves growing mainly at the base.
The flowering period of pyrethrum pink is from May-June to September.
Flowers usually appear in the second year of cultivation, collected in baskets - yellow tubular flowers in the middle, surrounded by pink or reddish lingual flowers.
Location: grow well in open or slightly shaded places. Frost-resistant.
Soil: undemanding to the soil, but prefer moderately dry, fresh, well-permeable water, moderately nutritious.
Heavy soils and soiling should be avoided in every possible way, since feverfew freezes out in such places. This is especially true for terry varieties, which are not as stable as single ones.
Care: very responsive to fertilizers. Cut off after flowering. Tie up weak plants.
In one place they grow no more than 4 years, as the bushes grow strongly and flowering weakens.
Using mulch makes it easier to control weeds. Fertilizing with rotted manure is very useful.
Diseases and pests: Slugs feed on pyrethrum leaves with pleasure.
Put a small plank next to the bush and look under it in the morning - there you will find slugs hiding from the direct sun and you can easily destroy them.
Reproduction: dividing the bush, root and green cuttings, seeds.
