Roman Chamomile

£2.50

A native, hardy, low-growing perennial with feathery foliageand daisy-like flowers. Renowned for its sweet, apple- and hay-like scent‍.

Revered by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks for its healing properties and honoured as one of the nine sacred herbs associated with the god Woden in Anglo-Saxon times. Chamomile was commonly used in the middle ages and cultivation in Britain became widespread from the 16th century. A staple of Elizabethan herb gardens and commonly used as a “strewing herb,” it was scattered on floors or grown as soft, aromatic lawns so that its fragrance was released when walked upon.

Forms a creeping, mat-like habit, distinguishing it from German chamomile, which is taller and annual, and it thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it an excellent low-maintenance ground cover or lawn alternative with natural pest-resistant qualities.

Valued as a calming, digestive, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and sedative herb. Roman chamomile has long been used to ease insomnia, stress, anxiety, and digestive complaints. Earning the nickname “the plant’s physician,” for its ability to support the health of surrounding plants. It is widely used in herbal teas, skincare products for inflamed or sensitive skin; aromatherapy, essential oils and tinctures. This plant has long since secured its place as a timeless and beneficial addition to any garden.
