Arnica (Arnica Montana) P-Po-V

Arnica Montana Seeds

The wonder bruise herb but poisonous if taken internally. Valuable in homoeopathic treatment. Protected mountain plant of Switzerland with golden daisy flowers. See our arnica ointment cream.
Arnica works by stimulating the activity of white blood cells that perform much of the digestion of congested blood, and by dispersing trapped, disorganized fluids from bumped and bruised tissue, joints and muscles. Arnica is known to stimulate blood circulation and can raise blood pressure, especially in the coronary arteries. The plant is used externally for arthritis, burns, ulcers, eczema and acne.
It has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities that can reduce pain and swelling, improving wound healing. The plant has golden-yellow daisy like flowers which grown on single stems. These flowers look best grown in raised beds or in rock gardens.

When to Sow Arnica Montana Seeds

August to September.

Where to Sow

Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed sowing compost and only lightly cover with a dusting of vermiculite as needs some light to germinate. Place sown pots or trays into a cold frame as a cold period will aid breaking seed dormancy. Alternatively sow seeds and place pots or tray in a polybag and place in a Fridge at 5C for 2-3 weeks. After this bring out and place at a temperature of 20°C. Germination can be slow and erratic and seedlings should appear within 30-60 days.

What to do Next

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots and grow on until large enough to plant out in border spaced 30-45 cm apart.
