The assortment of indoor flowers has been formed over two centuries from a large number of proposals. The most popular indoor daisy flowers are gerberas and chrysanthemums. There are many varieties of Korean chrysanthemum of different colors with different flowering periods. Dwarf species with double inflorescences look beautiful on window sills and shelves. Tall species are used for growing in open ground for the purpose of decorating flower beds and subsequent cutting.

Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus is considered the ancestor of indoor gerberas. Proud, fragile chamomile (gerbera) is brought from Holland in the fall. In pots there is a flowering plant with double, simple flowers of orange, red, white, pink with a yellow chamomile center. The plant loves light and warmth.

Flowering is accompanied by the opening of a white bud up to 10 cm in diameter with a yellow center. The process is repeated twice during the summer season: in May or June, and a second time in August or September.

Plants that do not belong to the genus Matricaria, but are often called daisies

Chamomiles belong to the family of aster plants, the list of species of which reaches almost 30 thousand. Most of them have a similar inflorescence structure, due to which these inflorescences look similar to each other, and the species are often called daisies if they do not know the exact name.

Moreover, even in the scientific community, some species of other genera are traditionally called daisies, since this has happened historically and the name has already been firmly assigned to the plant. For example, these are Persian and Dalmatian chamomile (representatives of the genus Pyrethrum), dog chamomile and field chamomile (representatives of the genus Pupavka), and Roman chamomile.

Most often, chamomile is confused with Roman chamomile. Its correct name is the noble navel (Chamaemelum nobile). It looks like this:

It has larger leaves and dense, opaque bushes, and there is no cavity in the inflorescences. Also unlike Matricaria chamomilla, it is a perennial plant.

Sometimes yellow daisy is also called yellow chamomile or yellow chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria). It can be distinguished from representatives of the genus Matricaria by its yellow marginal flowers:

Doronicum orientalis is also often called yellow chamomile:

Very similar to field daisies and odorless tripleurospermum inodorum, which previously belonged to the genus Matricaria and was known under the synonymous names Matricaria inodora and Matricaria perforata merat. Its characteristic difference is the absence of odor in the inflorescences.

Another closely related species is the Hooker's hooker (Tripleurospermum hookeri, or Matricaria hookeri), but it most often grows on sea coasts.

Some sources also include tansy or feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) in the genus Matricaria. It can be found under the name Matricaria parthenium. When comparing pyrethrum with matricaria, you will notice that their inflorescences are similar, but the leaves of both plants are very different. In pyrethrum they are pinnately dissected and deeply cut. This difference is clearly visible in the picture:

Tansy, or feverfew (Pyrethrum corymbosum), like tansy, is a perennial plant. It is widespread in the European part of Russia, Crimea, Western Europe and some other regions. It grows mainly in deciduous forests and forest clearings. You can distinguish it from real daisies by the characteristic structural features of the bush and leaves. Its stems are single, branched at the top, and sparsely covered with pinnately dissected leaves with ovate-lanceolate lobes. The inflorescences contain from 3 to 15 flower baskets. Pyrethrum scutum is listed in the Red Book of some regions of Russia and Ukraine.

Other types of pyrethrum also have a certain similarity with matricaria. The two most famous of them are popularly called Persian (Turkish) chamomile and meat-red chamomile, which can be distinguished from true representatives of the genus Matricaria by the unusual color of the marginal flowers, which in these plants is pink and red. Also, Persian and Dalmatian chamomile (the latter is similar to the chamomile in color) have significantly larger inflorescences.

The wild-growing stinking navel, or as it is also called dog chamomile, is very similar to pharmaceutical chamomile. It is distinguished by the sharp unpleasant smell of inflorescences.

Annual and compound-leaved polypetalous plants (Erigeron annuus and compositus) also have an external resemblance to matricaria. They grow mainly in North America.

A variety of daisies, which are characterized by a yellow core and white petals, can also be confused with daisies.

Meadow daisies are called leucanthemum vulgare. It is distinguished by single inflorescences, the diameter of which ranges from 2.5 to 6 cm.

Large flower baskets are also characteristic of anacyclus. Their diameter is about 5 cm, and they do not grow singly, but in corymbose inflorescences. This plant can be found in the Middle East, Turkey and Mediterranean countries.

American chamomile is called Echinacea purpurea. The height of its stems is 90-100 cm, and the diameter of the inflorescences is about 15 cm. It is also distinguished from chamomile inflorescences by the purple color of the marginal flowers.

Osteospermum

These flowers are exactly like daisies, only with purple or red petals. The varieties with white flowers are especially similar. It is recommended to plant in open areas exposed to direct sunlight. At the same time, osteospermum shows high resistance to life in regions where cloudy and rainy weather prevails.

The crop is grown in the form of annual or perennial plantings. The height of the bush varies between 25-100 cm, the opened bud reaches a diameter of 4-10 cm.

Growing technology and care features

Yellow daisies are considered very unpretentious flowers. Therefore, they can be planted directly into the soil with seeds.

In spring, planting can be done starting in May, and in autumn - in October.

If in doubt, growing seedlings can be carried out in compliance with the following recommendations:

• in February or March, plant the seeds in the ground - you can use a universal substrate with the addition of sand or peat;
• control lighting and regularly water seedlings;
• when 3 leaves appear, perform planting dives;
• by May, young flowers will have 5 leaves.

The crop can be grown in seedlings.
It is recommended to plant chamomile in well-lit areas. Loose, slightly alkaline soil is perfect for this plant. In this case, you need to make depressions measuring 20 cm and plant the bushes by transshipment. After which they need to be watered abundantly.

A couple of weeks after planting, it is recommended to apply mineral fertilizers.

After which you need to provide the culture with proper care. It is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

• Choose the right soil. Yellow daisies do not grow well in acidic, clay or heavy soil. The best option is a light, slightly acidic substrate with a high content of nutrients. The root system of yellow daisies is on the surface. Therefore, loosening or digging up the soil is not recommended.
• Water the bushes in a timely manner. Since the chamomile root system is located near the top layer of soil, the plant requires frequent but moderate watering. To do this, it is recommended to use warm, settled water.
• Spray the plantings regularly. This must be done in hot weather. This procedure is recommended to be carried out in the evenings. At the same time, it is important to remember a sense of proportion. Excess moisture can cause illness.
• Monitor humidity. Yellow daisies do not tolerate waterlogging well, so they should not be planted near large trees or in lowlands.
• Apply fertilizers on time. In spring, bushes need complex feeding. The flower requires mineral and organic substances. At the end of August, during the development of new rosettes, nitrogen fertilizers should be applied.

Yellow daisies are resistant to cold weather. Therefore, if there is enough snow in winter, they may not need to be insulated.

If the winter is not expected to be too snowy, you can cover the plantings with compost or spruce branches. At the same time, the plant easily withstands spring frosts. This even applies to flowering crops.

It is important to water the bushes in a timely manner.

Pyrethrum

Another double of the chamomile, which is a highly branching bush, 20-50 cm high. The opening buds can reach 8 cm in diameter, their petals are colored white, pink, crimson, red and lavender. The flower is grown as an annual and perennial crop and has an effective ability to self-sow. Planting is possible in almost any soil, but waterlogging and stagnation of water should be avoided.

Flowering begins in May and continues for a long period. The aroma is strong and quite specific.

Rudbeckia

The flower belongs to the tall category, the minimum height of the bush is 50 cm, and the maximum reaches 2 meters. The plant has no special care requirements; moreover, it is perennial and can decorate the garden in one place for up to 5 years.

The daisy-like flowers come in yellow, pink, scarlet, orange and cream. There are two-color species, where the darker base becomes lighter as it approaches the edge of the petal. There are 40 varieties in total.

Diseases, pests and control measures

Yellow daisies often suffer from attacks by aphids and thrips, which absorb all the juices from the flower. To cope with pests, it is recommended to use various insecticidal preparations.

Excessive soil moisture leads to the appearance of gray rot on the bushes. In this case, the plants need to be thinned out and damaged fragments removed. Correction of watering is of no small importance.

With excessive moisture, the flower suffers from powdery mildew and rust. In such a situation, the amount of watering must be reduced, and the affected plant fragments must be removed.

Fusarium on daisies

Fusarium is considered another dangerous pathology to which yellow daisies are susceptible. It begins with rotting of the root system. This causes the lower leaves to wilt and turn black. Then the remaining fragments suffer.

The disease actively develops in conditions of high humidity. It quickly attacks flowers. Since the disease first damages the roots, the plant cannot be saved. In such a situation, you need to immediately dig up and burn the bush.

The place where the infected chamomile grew needs to be watered with a solution of copper sulfate. Plants that grow nearby should definitely be treated with fungicides.

Ursinia

The shape of the flower is similar to a chamomile, but the color of the petals is very different. They are mostly golden with a hint of orange. The color is bright and rich, easily attracting attention. It is noteworthy that the inside of the flower is lighter than the outside. For example, a petal that is yellow on the inside will be brownish-purple on the back. The opened buds have a diameter of 5-6 cm.

The shoots grow up to 30-60 cm, covered with dark green foliage. The crop is grown both annual and perennial. It is resistant to negative temperatures and is undemanding to living conditions. Flowering continues until night frosts appear.

Chrysanthemum

A perennial or annual plant with many varieties. Flowers are located on a separate stem or are included in massive inflorescences. The petals are cream, lilac, yellow, purple and lilac. The height of one branch varies depending on the variety, in rare cases it can grow up to 160 cm. The plant is stable after cutting.

The chrysanthemum variety Bacardi deserves special attention. You should remember the name and look at the photo, because chamomile-like flowers can be used to create a wide variety of compositions. The variety has white, densely set petals and a yellow center, which together gives an incredible similarity. There are up to two dozen buds on one large stem, so literally 3-5 branches allow you to form a lush, beautiful bouquet.

In addition to the standard color, the petals can be red, yellow, pink, or cream. This flower is popular among florists - its inflorescences are painted in various shades, sprinkled with sparkles, and decorated with ribbons.

The Bacardi variety is grown outdoors and at home. It is placed on sunny lawns and provides abundant watering.

Coreopsis prefers open, sunny areas with good drainage. This is especially important in winter - during a thaw, the flower can rot if planted in a flooded place.

Osteospermum

Osteospermum is also known as the Cape daisy, and in the west also as the African daisy. Its obvious advantage is lush flowering until late autumn, because cold temperatures stimulate the opening of buds.

The ideal location for osteosperum is in areas well-warmed by the sun. However, it cannot be called a sissy - it does not lose its decorative effect even on gloomy, rainy autumn days.
