Chamaemelum nobile aka Chamomile

Chamaemelum nobile, also known as chamomile or camomile, is a low-growing perennial plant found in dry fields and cultivated grounds throughout Europe, North America, and South America. It is commonly called Roman chamomile, English chamomile, or garden chamomile, among other names. This plant is a member of the daisy family and produces lovely blooms in the summer that can continue into the fall. Unlike German chamomile, it does not produce many flowers but has a delightful aroma. Roman chamomile is easily grown from seeds and can self-seed, providing more ground cover the following year. It is a source of chamomile, which is made by drying its flowers for use in teas or aromatherapy. Although chamomile has no established medicinal properties, it is a popular herbal product. Remember to water Roman chamomile lightly to keep it healthy.
