A truly beautiful flower with a big purpose. There are two major types of Chamomile, Roman and German. I have both types available. Both are used for tea and both have medicinal value. The major difference is that Roman is a perennial while German is an annual although German readily re-seeds. The Roman has much more substantial and larger flowers and leaves. It grows shorter getting 3-4 inches tall and is hardy to zone 5. The leaves smell like apples.
