description for "Herbs: Matricaria recutita"
Chamomile tea is soothing after a hard day at work. German chamomile is an annual herb that develops short, fuzzy foliage and white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. The plants reseed themselves readily. Harvest the flowers just as they open. Provide full sun and adequate drainage. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
