Chamomile Gerrman
An old-fashioned favorite. Apple scented annual herb topped by yellow and white flowers.
Chamomile is a fairly adaptable plant, but does best in full sun in well-drained soil. Water well in dry weather, and deadhead thoroughly to prevent self-sowing.
Harvest the small, sweet smelling flowers when they are fully open. Use the petals fresh or dry. The leaves can be gathered in spring to early summer and used fresh or dry.
Companion Planting
Chamomile attracts hoverflies and wasps. Plant near onions to improve their flavour.
 
HOW TO USE: Perfect for beds, borders and containers. The flowers can be used fresh or dried to brew a delicious tea. Popular for sachets and potpourri.
