Climate and Soil Conditions

• Dalmatian chrysanthemums produce most pyrethrum in high altitudes of tropical climates. However, they are tolerant of a range of conditions. In the United States and other temperate countries they grow best in a mild climate. They concentrate most pyrethrum in dry, lime-rich and fast draining soil. Plant the species in full sun. Although Dalmatian chrysanthemums can tolerate temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit, in colder regions it is advisable to mulch the plants heavily for winter.
