TALL ANNUAL WILD FLOWER: Easy to grow and stunningly beautiful when in bloom. An annual daisy-like native wild flower with yellow centres and feathery foliage which has an apple smell when crushed. Wild chamomile leaves make a delicious soothing chamomile tea, skin wash or shampoo.

ATTRACT BIRDS AND BEES TO YOUR GARDEN: Sowing Native Wild Flowers is a great way to attract beneficial insects and pollinators to your garden, allotment or field while also provide a food source for birds and other wildlife. Cut the chamomile flowers when they are fully open, on a dry day and preferable in the morning.

HOW TO PLANT: Can be sown at any time of year, but best in early late spring or early summer. Scatter the seed directly onto the fine raked seed bed and firm down well. Water well and keep the young plants weeded. Do not cover the seed instead just firm in by rolling or treading to give good soil/seed contact.

TOP GROWING TIPS: Chamomile can grow in most soil types, although for best results grow in well drained areas in full sun. Seeds may need some protection from wild birds until they germinate. Keep them well watered initially and remove any weeds if they appear. This delicate annual is also ideal for filling gaps at the front of flower borders. This variety is not suitable for use as a lawn.

GO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS: Planting wild flowers is a wonderful way to spend time in your garden, cultivate mindfulness and appreciate the little things just like in years gone by. Working with the earth and growing things is immensely satisfying – teach your children or grandchildren this priceless skill of harvesting food in their own gardens, allotments, greenhouses, inside the home in pots or even in community gardens!
