Plants for allergy sufferers

Table of contents

Plants that produce little pollen include varieties that have full flowers, such as peonies, with a small number of stamens, or flowering very briefly. Cut hedges of boxwood, maple or beech trees are a good option. Trimming them regularly prevents them from blooming. It is also worth giving up the cultivation of plants whose pollen causes allergies, e.g. calendula, chrysanthemum, goldenrod and ornamental grasses, as well as intensely fragrant species.

Allergies are also caused by fungal spores. To reduce the risk, let's plant plants that are resistant to this infestation.People prone to rashes and allergies should also avoid Ruta graveolens and Heracleum borscht. On sunny days, their leaves can burn the skin. Inflammation of both the skin and mucosa also occurs after contact with the sap of various species of spurge.
