In the clear light of open spaces and edges of gardens, American arnica establishes itself with understated elegance. This North American perennial, still relatively unknown in urban gardens, nevertheless finds its natural place in a harmonious garden, at the heart of a nourishing space where companion plants are also cultivated for everyday care.

Its low to slightly upright habit, simple foliage, and daisy-like yellow flower heads give it a tranquil, wild appearance. In welcoming, well-drained soil, it gradually forms discreet but faithful clumps, offering its benevolent presence season after season when its rhythm and needs are respected.

American arnica, a medicinal plant primarily known for its external use, evokes an age-old practice of care, to be handled with care and discernment. Planted in a quiet corner of the garden, sheltered from trampling, it contributes to a deeply rooted approach: observing the plant, understanding its cycle, and harvesting sparingly to preserve the population and the role of this species in the ecosystem.
