Chamaemelum nobile
Roman Chamomile
This classic herb is both easy to grow and pretty in the summer garden. Roman chamomile is a mat-forming perennial that originates from Western Europe. Throughout the growing season it has fine, ferny, sweetly aromatic green leaves and in summer produces small white daisies with yellow centers. These draw bees and butterflies and may be harvested and dried for chamomile tea. Chamomile prefers full sun and average garden soil with good drainage. It's ideal for the herb garden and is also well placed in sunny rock gardens.
