CHAMOMILE ROMAN 100/200seeds Calming Herbal Tea Apple scented Lawn Digestive Aid 

CHAMAEMELUM SYN ANTHEMIS NOBILIS

Common Names: English Chamomile, Ground Apple, Groundcover Chamomile, Low Chamomile, Garden Chamomile.

Roman Chamomile is a hardy perennial, flowering, ground-covering herb.

Can be used for making low traffic chamomile lawns, this groundcover with apple scented aroma is also great for filling gaps between pavers and stonewalls as it’s low growing. Its daisy-like flowers have white petals and yellow centres and bloom in summer. They can be dried to make a soothing tea or used fresh as a garnish.

Although Roman chamomile produces fewer flowers than German chamomile, it's a perennial that produces year after year without replanting. 

 Roman chamomile flowers help to attract beneficial insect species to your garden.

Growing Tips:

For best flowering choose a growing site that receives full sun or very light shade.  The soil should be free-draining, a sandy-loam is ideal.

 Roman chamomile shouldn't require supplementary fertilising but you can apply a top dressing of a complete organic fertiliser around plants if growth is slow or at the first sign of any nutrient deficiencies.  Roman chamomile is drought tolerant, but grows best when watered regularly especially when planted as a lawn replacement. 

When to Sow:

In temperate and subtropical regions of Australia sow any time during Spring or from early to mid Autumn.  

In tropical regions of Australia sow during the dry season, from early Autumn to mid Winter is best.

How to Sow:

Surface sow Roman chamomile seeds and cover only very lightly with a sprinkling of growing media as the seeds require light to germinate so don't cover them too deeply.  Press down gently to ensure good contact between the moist growing media and the seeds, this will help prevent them from drying out between waterings.  

Thinning seedlings to about 20cm apart will give their root systems room to expand while still allowing a solid carpet of flowers to form once established.

Germination Time:

Roman chamomile seeds generally require 8 to 15 days for most seedlings to emerge.

Time to Flowering:

4 to 8 months after sowing to start producing flowers.
