## Growing Information

Roman Chamomile thrives in well-draining soil and makes an excellent ground cover, lawn substitute, or addition to herb gardens. The aromatic flowers attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies. This low-maintenance perennial self-seeds readily and can be harvested for dried flower arrangements or potpourri.

For container growing, use an organic potting mix with good drainage. These plants also grow well indoors with bright light.

Perfect for cottage gardens, rock gardens, or anywhere you want to add gentle fragrance and classic charm. The soft, cushion-like growth habit makes it ideal for planting between stepping stones or in areas with light foot traffic.

Although chamomile is often grown as a medicinal herb, always consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
