Chamomile is a native British plant whose flowers are dried to make chamomile tea. It is sadly on the decline in the wild and is now confined to a few parts of southern England. It is listed as Vulnerable on the Vascular Plant Red Data List for Great Britain, and is a species “of principal importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity”.
 
This wildflower needs a freely-draining soil so won't thrive on our local clay but it does grow very well in a container. It's flowers attract benefical insects, bees and other pollinators. 
 
It grows to 25cm high and 45cm across in full sun or partial shade and a freely-draining soil. Its white and yellow flowers are produced from June to August.
Cut back regulary to maintain compact, bushy plants.
