The stems of the Anacyclus Pyrethrum plant, which resembles the chamomile in habit and appearance, are erect after lying on the ground for a portion of their length. Each has a single, sizable flower with a yellow disk and white rays that are under tinted with purple. The leaves are deeply divided into smooth, alternating, and pinnate segments.
The virtually cylindrical root is tapered, very slightly twisted, and frequently capped with a tuft of grey hairs. It has a dark, wrinkled exterior with vivid black markings. The fracture is brief, and the magnified transverse section shows a lovely radiating structure and numerous oleoresin glands. The flavor is strong while the aroma is mild.

Although planting can be done in the fall, the ideal period is at the end of April. Any normal decent soil is suitable, but well-drained, stiff loamy soil that has been improved with good manure produces superior results. Three methods of propagation are used: cuttings, root division, and seed. If seeds are used, they should be sown in February or March, thinned to 2 to 3 inches apart, then planted out in permanent locations in early June, with at least a foot separating each plant from the next and 2 feet separating the rows. If at all feasible, the process should be performed on a day when there is a chance of rain. The seedlings will shortly get established.
