of Airy Fragrance, Dotted with Tiny White Daisies! German Chamomile is a must-have herb if you enjoy drinking hot or cold teas. The flowers are a staple ingredient in herbal tea concoctions, where they have a soothing, calming effect. It is also used in shampoos and hair rinses to lighten blond hair. Up to 24 inches tall and 15 inches wide, German chamomile has many thin branches of finely divided green leaves. Small 3/4 inch white and yellow daisy-like flowers appear from early summer to fall. Sow
seeds in fall or spring in well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil.
Harvest flowers when first fully opened, and use fresh or freeze. |
