Insights
This wonderful little daisy-like flower is native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela. Its common name refers to the fact that it was believed to repel fleas. It was introduced to Britain in the 1830s and named by a Swiss botanist to honour the Bavarian botanist Wilhelm Karwinsky von Karwin. Fleabane is easier to remember!
