Plant of the Day

On the edge of a local car park these Glebionis coronaria (crown daisy, annual painted daisy, chrysanthemum greens, garland chrysanthemum, Sicilian chrysanthemum) were flowering. This annual will grow from seed in a season in most soils but thrives in a well-drained sandy soil in full sun. The foliage can be eaten as a leaf vegetable.

If you like drinks that are on the pleasingly bitter side, you’ll like shungiku (Glebionis coronaria) flower tea.

The Shungiku or Crown Daisy is a popular vegetable and tea herb in Eastern Asia even though the species originated in the Mediterranean. Shungiku is used in hot pot stews, marinated veggie side dishes, and teas. The herb gets very bitter as the weather gets warmer, so adding too much can ruin the flavour of a dish. The herb has many traditional uses in herbal medicine, such as treating hay fever and acne, but the medical evidence shows that the plant is rich in potassium which is good for muscle and nerve function.

To brew a drinkable tea from the flowers, it is essential to let the flower steep in hot water for 1 minute before discarding the water and replacing with freshly boiled water. This allows the bitter chemical compounds to dissolve out in the first rinse, making the tea mellower in the second round.
