Product description
Chamomile tea is a popular herbal drink made from the flowers of this fully hardy perennial. The feathery green leaves are highly fragrant when touched or crushed, and in small amounts can be finely chopped to flavour cream sauces. It is often planted en-masse to create a scented chamomile lawn non-flowering cultivars of this herb are ideal for this purpose, while those that bear white daisy-like flowers above plants in summer are best for culinary use.
Water plants regularly, especially those in pots, in periods of drought over summer. Chamomile can become leggy unless it is clipped regularly during the growing season to ensure growth remains compact, dense and bushy.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves. Collections or 'mixed' listings for plants will be selected dependant on availability and carefully hand-picked to ensure their quality.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
