Chamomile Seeds
(German/True Chamomile)
Bring gentle charm and a soothing aroma to your garden with German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). This delightful annual herb produces masses of small, white, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres, releasing a lovely sweet, apple-like fragrance. Famous for making calming chamomile tea, the flowers also attract beneficial insects.
