Flattened Alexander's Foot

Flattened Alexander's Foot  (Anacyclus)

Flattened Alexander's Foot (Anacyclus) is a genus of annual and short living perennials. Anacyclus pyrethrum var. depressus belongs to the latter group. It has daisy-like flowers and a fine green foliage. Once established, it can form a dense mat. Flattened Alexander's Foot likes a place in the sun in a well-draining, dry to normal moist soil. Especially in the winter, drainage needs to be good. Therefore, planting slightly elevated or on a slope is good. Flattened Alexander's Foot is well suited to a warm place in the rockery, together with Ice Plant (Delosperma), Shrubby Gromwell (Lithodora), Houseleek (Sempervivum) and low Stonecrops (Sedum).
