Smallhead Arnica (Arnica gracilis) is a North American species of arnica in the sunflower family. It is native to western Canada (Alberta, British Columbia) and the northwestern United States (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, north-central Colorado, and northern Utah). This yellow-flowering herb grows up to 10 inches tall and displays flower heads with both ray florets and disc florets.
As with most species, Smallhead Arnica prefers higher elevations and temperate climates. The seeds usually take about a month to germinate, but in some instances, it can take much longer.
Sow the seeds in early spring in a shallow tray or another suitable container in a mixture of equal parts loam, peat, and sand. Push the seeds lightly below the surface of the growing medium and keep it moist. It is best to place them in a cool place with indirect sunlight because the seeds need a chilling period to germinate. The seedlings can be transplanted outdoors when the danger of frost has passed.
