Achillea. Today it is widespread across the entire Northern Hemisphere and has inhabited open, sunny habitats such as meadows, pastures, dry grasslands, fallow land, and roadsides for thousands of years.

Its flowers and leaves contain aromatic essential oils and bitter compounds and have long been used in European herbalism and folk traditions. As a culinary herb, it adds a spicy note to salads, herb butter, and wild‑herb mixtures. Its aromatic scent also makes it popular in herbal pillows, fragrance blends, and incense. In addition, it is used in traditional herbal wines and bitter preparations, serves as a flavourful ingredient in wild‑herb salts, and is suitable for drying for scented bouquets, potpourris, and decorative herb bundles.

Thanks to its robustness and longevity, it is excellent for naturalistic, low‑maintenance gardens. It is also highly tolerant of cutting and regenerates quickly after pruning.

This undemanding clover species originates from southern Europe and the western Mediterranean and can now be found growing wild in meadows, pastures, and along roadsides worldwide. In agriculture, crimson clover is primarily cultivated as an animal fodder plant and as a summer and winter cover crop. Due to its ability to fix nitrogen, protect against erosion, and improve soil structure and fertility, this plant is often used in winter cover crops and as a green manure. The fast-growing plant is ideal for promoting biodiversity, providing high biomass, suppressing weeds, and stabilizing the soil through the deep penetration of its roots.

Its original range covers nearly all of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and parts of Western Asia, where it primarily grows in open meadows, along roadsides, and on extensively managed grasslands. Botanically, the species belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae, and the genus Bellis. The name Bellis derives from the Latin bellus (“beautiful”), while perennis (“perennial”) refers to the long‑lived growth habit of the wild form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest mention appears in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD, who described the daisy as a medicinal plant used for wounds and skin injuries. Dioscorides also included it in De materia medica, documenting its continuous medicinal use since antiquity. In medieval herbals, Bellis perennis is regularly listed as a remedy for bruises, swelling, and skin irritation, and it was cultivated in monastic gardens as a robust and easily accessible medicinal plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the centuries, the wild form spread far beyond its original range through natural dispersal and human use. It became native throughout Europe and was later introduced to North America, Australia, and New Zealand, where it established quickly thanks to its high adaptability. Its flowers, which open in sunlight and close in rain or darkness, are considered a classic example of nyctinasty and shaped its symbolic meaning as a plant of light and purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDue to its long history of use, its resilience, and its content of secondary plant compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, and tannins, the wild form of Bellis perennis remains one of the most important traditional medicinal plants in Europe.

Its anti-inflammatory compounds have long been used for skin issues, bruises, coughs, and digestive discomfort. Applied externally, it soothes irritated skin and supports wound healing. The flowers enhance salads, herb spreads, soups, smoothies, and wild herb blends. In herbal medicine, they are used to strengthen the immune system, support recovery from colds, and promote gentle detoxification. Fresh flowers serve as an aromatic ingredient in herb butter, pestos, and floral vinegars, while the buds are pickled as the “capers of the North.” In natural cosmetics, flower extracts form the basis of nourishing oils, salves, and washes. Syrups, honey infusions, herbal baths, and compresses traditionally support the respiratory system, skin regeneration, and metabolism, making the plant a versatile component of spring tonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon daisy grows reliably outdoors and in containers.

This robust and drought-tolerant wild plant is native to the dry highlands of California, Arizona, and Mexico, where it grows up to 2,000 meters in altitude. In nature, the herbaceous, upright plant occurs naturally along roadsides and in fields. It has been cultivated extensively since the beginning of the 19th century. Due to its special properties, it has proven itself as a green manure plant and is highly valued in organic gardening. In home gardens, it is often planted in dry perennial beds or rockeries alongside ornamental grasses and other annuals. Its dense root system enriches the soil organically, loosens it, and helps combat soil fatigue. It is not related to any native vegetable species, which makes it easy to integrate into crop rotation. Sowing green manure plants acts like a soil treatment, protecting the soil from drying out and crusting in winter. It also reliably suppresses weeds and can be used as a pre-crop for new lawns or to quickly green up fallow land. It is undemanding and grows in almost any soil. As a medicinal plant, the plant's flavonoids and other bioactive substances have anti-inflammatory properties and are consumed as a tea.

Since antiquity it has been valued as a medicinal and useful plant; leaves, roots and flowers were considered digestive‑stimulating, cleansing and strengthening.

In the 11th century it appears in European herbal manuscripts, and in the 12th century Hildegard of Bingen notes its strengthening properties.

Today, the very vigorous oil radish is not only used for oil production, but also as a fodder and foundation plant. Due to its nematode-reducing properties, high biomass, and deep, strong roots, the species is particularly suitable for slightly compacted, poorly draining, and humus-poor soils. The plants optimize water drainage and the soil's water retention capacity. Ideal as a cover crop to enrich the soil with nitrogen, provide shade, and improve soil structure.

The earliest documented written reference dates to 659 CE in the Chinese medicinal and herbal compendium \u003cem\u003eXin Xiu Ben Cao\u003c\/em\u003e of the Tang dynasty, where buckwheat is described as both a food and a healing plant. From its centre of origin in southwest China, it spread along trade routes to northern China, Korea and Japan, and later via the Silk Road to Central Asia, Eastern Europe and eventually Central Europe, where it became known as “heath grain” and served as an essential staple in poor, sandy and high‑altitude regions. Botanically, buckwheat belongs to the family Polygonaceae, subfamily Polygonoideae, genus \u003cem\u003eFagopyrum\u003c\/em\u003e, making it more closely related to rhubarb and sorrel than to the true cereals of the grass family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn traditional agricultural systems, Buckwheat was valued for its low demands, rapid development and strong attractiveness to pollinators. It provided a reliable source of protein, served as an important bee plant and remained productive even in years with unfavourable weather. In East Asian and Eastern European cuisine, it held a central role for centuries — as groats, flour, noodles or roasted grains. In traditional herbal medicine, buckwheat was used for its high content of rutin, flavonoids and easily digestible proteins: to strengthen blood vessels, support circulation, ease inflammation and aid digestion. Leaves and flowers were used for teas considered vascular‑strengthening and calming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, common Buckwheat remains a staple of Eastern European, Asian and increasingly modern gluten‑free cooking. Its flowers are among the most valuable nectar sources of summer, and its use as a green manure improves soil structure, biodiversity and ecological stability.

The flour produces gluten‑free baked goods, crêpes and noodle doughs; the grains also work well in veggie patties, stuffed vegetables and savoury pan dishes. Sprouting grains provide shoots for raw dishes, while leaves and flowers can be used fresh or dried for tea, infused water and edible decoration.
