Chamaemelum nobile (Chamomile) is a mat-forming perennial boasting finely divided, aromatic leaves and masses of small daisy-like flowers throughout the summer and into early fall. The feathery foliage exudes a ripe apple scent when bruised. Cold hardy, Chamaemelum nobile is such a densely carpeting plant that it can be used as a groundcover or as a lawn substitute. It can be regularly mowed, but however, tolerates only minimal foot traffic. Grow it between stepping stones or as an edging. The flower may be harvested and dried to make chamomile tea. Gather the flowers when fully open, dry them and store them in an airtight container.
