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.
