Description

Chamomile is a unique European herb that forms a pretty flower with benefits. Chamomile is used for herbal remedies, beverages, and skin care products. There are two types of common chamomile: German and Roman. Both types boast fragrant, daisy-like flowers with white petals surrounding a yellow center. The two types of chamomile grow quickly (reaching full bloom within about 10 weeks) and are best planted in the spring via seed. Roman chamomile is often used as a ground cover or creeping plant to soften the edges of a stone wall or walkway, while its German counterpart is more commonly used for making tea.
