Be sure to check in several days to ensure dryness.

Impressive collection, my Chamomile attempts have usually failed, too many weeds, not enough growth.

But I have never tried them for processing.

I wanted a Chamomile Lawn, a Chamomile Path and if either of those were successful I was going to build a raised wall area with a recessed Chamomile Bench / Chaise Longue for lying down on in Summer evenings to release the scent.

But my first attempts produced straggly bolting Chamomile with lots of weeds in between - and I never started on my grand design.

In Meadieval times, Chamomile was preferred to grass for lawns and the like.

you are right herb and the type i have growing here seems to be highly fragrent. it tingles the nose if smelled and the smell lasts of apples.

I have to say that this is by far the best chamomile I've come across...

Image

It's so aromatic and smells AMAZING! It's like a spiced apple pie!

Image

It's got a little bite to it, but mostly it's quite sweet and it's such a pleasant thing to drink. :)

Image

This is something I could imagine buying at a farmer's market. Wish I had some of this growing here...

Thanks for the sample, bro!
