Dittrichia viscosa (False Yellowhead, Sticky Fleabane)
General Description
Dittrichia viscosa, commonly known as False Yellowhead or Sticky Fleabane, is a hardy, perennial Mediterranean plant from the Asteraceae family. It is well-known for its strongly aromatic foliage, sticky glandular leaves, and bright yellow flowers that bloom from late summer to autumn. This resilient species thrives in poor soils and disturbed habitats, making it an excellent choice for erosion control and ecological restoration projects.
Plant Characteristics
Dittrichia viscosa grows as an upright, bushy shrub-like herb, reaching 50–150 cm in height. It has narrow, lance-shaped leaves covered in glandular hairs that secrete a sticky resin, giving the plant its distinctive aroma and insect-repelling properties. Its small yellow flowers resemble daisies and attract pollinators, making it beneficial for biodiversity.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of soils, including poor and rocky soil. Prefers well-drained conditions.
• Light: Grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Watering: Drought-resistant; requires minimal watering once established.
• Temperature: Thrives in Mediterranean and arid climates but is cold-hardy down to -5°C.
• Germination: Sow seeds directly onto the soil surface or lightly cover. Keep at 18–24°C for germination, which occurs in 2–4 weeks.
Uses and Benefits
• Medicinal Properties: Traditionally used in herbal medicine for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Insect Repellent: The resinous leaves deter pests, making it useful in organic farming.
• Ecological Benefits: Ideal for erosion control, land rehabilitation, and pollinator-friendly gardens.
• Ornamental Value: Provides bright yellow blooms in dry landscapes, road edges, and wild gardens.
