Description
Roman Chamomile is a low-growing perennial herb with finely divided, aromatic foliage and cheerful white daisy flowers with yellow centres. Native to Western Europe, it thrives in sunny, well-drained spots, making a lovely edging plant, groundcover, or informal lawn alternative in light foot-traffic areas. The flowers and leaves are traditionally used in teas, oils, and compresses for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties. Roman Chamomile is especially prized for its fragrance, releasing a sweet apple-like scent when crushed underfoot. More compact and perennial than German Chamomile, it provides a longer-lived option for medicinal and ornamental gardens.
