Roman Chamomile has a very long history of use as both an
ornamental and medicinal herb. Roman Chamomile is very
similar in appearance and use to
German Chamomile.
A
tea made from the white flowers is used as an aid to digestion
after heavy meals. It is very common in commercial tea blends.
In
England, it is used traditionally as a ground cover and in
pathways. It will grow to about six inches in height but
can be mowed like grass.
Unlike German Chamomile,
Roman Chamomile is a perennial and will do well in Zones 4-10.
After getting plants started from seeds, you can propagate more
plants by dividing the roots in the fall.
