Fothergill's Chamomile Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Anthemis, a highly fragrant and reliable member of the aster family.
• Plant Class: Hardy Perennial, returning faithfully year after year to form a permanent, drought-tolerant fixture in your garden.
• Aromatic Foliage: Features finely divided, bright green leaves that release a delicious, soothing scent whenever walked upon, brushed past, or trimmed.
• Charming Blooms: Produces a mass of dainty white flowers with sunny yellow centres, adding a soft, wild texture to borders and container displays.
• Traditional Ground Cover: Displays a compact, spreading, and dwarf growth habit up to 30cm (12in) high, making it the perfect historical choice for creating an aromatic Chamomile lawn, a fragrant path, or a living garden seat.
• Homegrown Herbal Tea: The freshly picked or dried flower heads can be steeped in hot water to create a completely natural, deeply relaxing, homegrown chamomile tea.
• Optimal Growing Position: Thrives beautifully when positioned in full sun, which encourages maximum essential oil production for a more intense fragrance.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow seeds thinly into finely prepared, well-drained soil or shallow seed trays. Choose a bright, open position in full sun. Gently press the tiny seeds into the surface, as they require light to germinate.
• Lawn Establishment: If planting a chamomile lawn or path, keep the area completely free of weeds and avoid heavy foot traffic until the young plants have knit together into a dense carpet.
• Maintenance: Trim back lightly after flowering to maintain a neat, compact, and bushy shape and to stimulate fresh, aromatic leaf growth.
