basic information
Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) is a perennial herb with daisy-like flowers and a sweet, apple-like fragrance. Its flowers and leaves are used in teas, ointments, and aromatherapy to promote relaxation, aid digestion, and soothe skin irritations. Compared to German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), an annual, Roman chamomile has a milder flavor, lower essential oil content, and is more commonly used in landscaping. German chamomile, with higher azulene content, is preferred for anti-inflammatory and medicinal applications.

How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Chamomile can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. The seeds require a bit of direct light to germinate, so it is best to surface sow. Direct sow or transplant when temperatures are at least 65F or more. Mulch with a light misting to avoid washing the seed away. Poor soils are recommended for an abundance of flowers.
