Roman chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile, is an aromatic, mat-forming perennial, perfect for using as a lawn substitute. It bears pretty, white daisy-like flowers in summer, which can be dried and used to make chamomile tea or potpourri.
Grow Chamaemelum nobile in free-draining soil in full sun. Cut back regularly to maintain a bushy habit, and deadhead spent blooms to prevent self-seeding.
