Notes

'Roman Chamomile' (Chamaemelum nobile 'Roman Chamomile') is an herb for borders, cottage gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The evergreen foliage is aromatic and spreads at a rapid rate. It tolerates light foot traffic, so you can plant it between stepping stones. Bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Lemon balm, Sage, and PowWow Wild Berry coneflower.
