Some Herbs may be too tall for our standard packaging and will be trimmed to fit. This will not be detrimental to the plant but will mean that these herbs will flower later in the year.

Lawn Chamomile as the name suggests is the variety of chamomile to buy if a lawn is what you really want it is a mat-forming evergreen plant which has tiny aromatic leaves that form a dense carpet of green, and will not flower, making it more suitable for using as a lawn. Lawn Chamomile can only be propagated by runners or cuttings. In any case 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.
Lawn Chamomile is popularly used as a calming, stress relieving tea, chamomile also assists digestion and the flowers and leaves have been used for a range of complaints, from nappy rash to anger management. The essential oils are important in cosmetic products like conditioners, and also feature in the arsenal of the aromatherapist. If you want to use chamomile for its aromatherapy benefits then the standard Chamaemelum nobile is the better variety as the properties are in the flower.
Our potted Lawn Chamomile herb plants are generally available to buy online between March and September.

Last time I ordered plants online I was very dissapointed by both the quality of the plants and also the communication regarding delivery. The plants are of very good quality and arrived well packed. I was very impressed with the quick delivery and also the updates regarding delivery time. I will certainly consider ordering from them again.
My chamomile arrived with very secure packaging, and the little plants themselves were perfect. It only took a few minutes to unwrap them, and leave them to stand for a while, before planting in the soil. They are already growing well. Very much recommend Hooks Green Herbs.
The plants arrived quickly, well packed and healthy. Planted and have already started to grow, creating a great sent in my garden
Arrived well packaged , look healthy, would have bought more but out of stock.
The plants were of a good size, well packed and in excellent condition. They arrived very quickly and once planted, started to grow within a few days.
A small plant to add to the one I have... sweet scented and vigorous... makes a wonderful narrow sweet scented carpet in a narrow pathway...
Arrived promptly and in good condition. If available I would have purchased more plants as I have a small Chamomile lawn that always requires replacements
The Chamomile Treneague plants which ai ordered arrived very quickly and very well packed. They are beautiful, strong, healthy plants. Thank you very much. I will certainly buy from Hooksgreen again.
