This pretty little perennial plant make a great ground cover for many types of gardens from herb to cottage or even as an alternative lawn – and what make it even greater, is that you can drink it too!

Chamomile is a popular natural tea when dried, and blooms with daisy-like flowers of white petals with a bright yellow centre.

**Sunlight:** Will grow happily in full sun to light shade.

**Watering:** Gentle but regular watering while seeds germinate and establish.

**Soil:** Chamomile loves a fertile, well-draining soil. Add plenty of organic matter in the form of [ActivGrow Soil Improver](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/activgrow/) to garden beds prior to planting, or plant in [Organic Potting Mix](https://rockypoint.com.au/products/organic-potting-mix) if growing in containers.

**Harvest:** Harvest flower heads and collect. Regularly harvesting will promote continued flowering. Spread them out in a warn, dry location and leave for around 2 weeks to dry out. Then store in an airtight container or jar.
