About Anacyclus clavatus
Andeblom (Anacyclus clavatus) is a delightful annual plant from the Asteraceae family, recognized for its attractive daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers. It forms compact clumps and is perfect for rockeries, path edges, or as ground cover in low-maintenance gardens, adding a wild and bright touch.
Native range

Care tips
It requires full sun for abundant flowering and prefers well-drained soils, even poor or sandy ones. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings, as it is drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, and excessive fertilization, which promotes foliage over flowers.
