Chamomile

Chamomile grows with gusto, reaching full bloom in a mere 10 weeks, ideally sown from seed during spring. Roman chamomile, cherished as ground cover, softens the edges of stone walls, but also takes the spotlight in tea-making. Fragrant daisy-like blooms flaunt white petals encircling a golden center. Harvest flowers at full bloom, using fresh or drying in a shaded, well-ventilated space, stirring periodically until fully dried.
