Chamomile is an attractive and relatively hardy perennial with white, daisy-like flowers and fragrant, finely-divided foliage. Use it as an ornamental plant, but pick some flowers to make a relaxing tea that’s said to help you get to sleep easily. It’s also used as a hair-conditioning rinse, especially for those with blonde hair, and it makes a Calcium-rich addition to the compost heap when you throw your “tea flowers” away. It’s great for disturbed tummies, aids digestion and soothes inflamed skin.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Your seeds need light to grow. Sprinkle them on the surface of the soil, or mix with a little soil and then sow. Chamomile likes moist conditions throughout its life. Once they have established themselves, your plants will self-seed.

How to Harvest

Trim or pull off flower heads and spread out to dry out of direct sun.
