The fragrance is released especially when the leaves are touched, so it is worth planting near a path, beside a bench, or in a pot by the entrance, where it can easily be brushed by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCephalophora is also exceptionally undemanding. It grows in any soil type, has modest water requirements, and thrives in a sunny position. Botanically, it belongs to the daisy family; in more recent classifications, it is sometimes placed in the genus Helenium (Helenium aromaticum). It is still a rare sight in Polish gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March–April, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds in light potting mix in pots or trays, covering them very thinly—to a depth equal to the size of the seed.

Harden them off outdoors for several days before planting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (after May 15–20):\u003c\/strong\u003e After the last frosts, plant in a sunny spot, spacing plants about 30 × 30 cm apart. At the same time, you can also sow seeds directly outdoors, then thin the seedlings to the correct spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e The plant has few requirements—water mainly during prolonged dry spells, and somewhat more often in containers. It does not need heavy feeding. When growing in containers, ensure good drainage so water does not collect around the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCephalophora is primarily an \u003cstrong\u003earomatic ornamental plant\u003c\/strong\u003e.
