Chamomile
Anthemis
1000 Seeds
Grown for its deliciously scented foliage, with daisy-like flowers, plants smell wonderful when cut or brushed by. It makes a lovely addition to the perennial border or patio, and the flowers can be used to make herbal tea! Wonderful as a traditional aromatic Chamomile lawn or seat.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow indoors February to March, thinly in pots or trays of seed compost. Gently firm the seeds into the surface. Keep moist and warm, approx. 15-20°C (60-68°F). When large enough transplant 5cm (2") apart in further trays. Grow on at approx. 15°C (60°F). Gradually harden off before planting out to final position in late May spacing 20cm (8") apart. Or, sow outdoors April to June in a seed bed, cover lightly with fine soil and keep moist. When large enough thin to 20cm (8") apart. Transplant to flowering position September to October. Flowers: May to September, the following year. Remove dead heads to prolong flowering.
