Arnica (Mountain Tabacco) is a perennial plant with a rhizome running horizontally in the soil.

The yellow inflorescences are surrounded by a two-row involucre with short fleecy pubescence. The marginal flowers have 3 cloves - this is an important distinguishing feature when analyzing a pharmaceutical product.
Reproduction: by seeds and cuttings of rhizomes. It is better to grow through seedlings.
