Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) Herb in 9cm Pot
Roman Chamomile is also known as garden or English Chamomile and is a mat-forming evergreen plant. Chamaemelum nobile has tiny aromatic leaves and long stalked single daisy-like flowers, with yellow discs and creamy white petals. It can be cut as lawn, and it is better planted in a drift and certainly where it can be walked on, brushed past or crushed gently to allow the calming aroma to be released. Chamomile is a wonderful low growing plant (never gets higher than 30cm) that grows wild in the pastures and prairies, or where other grasses flourish. As a result, it is fully hardy and prefers well drained soils in full sun.
