With its low and creeping habit and fragrant, green foliage, the Roman Chamomile Plant has many uses. Botanically named Chamaemelum nobile, this perennial chamomile can be grown in a pot or even used for a lawn. Developing small, daisy-like blooms from midsummer onwards, its flowers have many herbal properties and most notably are used for making tea. Roman Chamomile is a perfect addition to any herb garden or patio.
Roman Chamomile Plant Care
Roman Chamomile Plant will flower best when grown in full sun, but can tolerate some partial shade. It can tolerate poor soil, but to thrive it prefers to be planted in fertile and well-drained soil. To harvest its flowers, the blooms can simply be pinched off when fully open and used fresh or dried. If leggy growth occurs during the summer, the stems can be cut back to encourage fresh new growth.
Growing Roman Chamomile Plant
When fully grown, this Roman Chamomile Plant remains low at around 3-6 inches high with a spread of up to 12-15 inches across. If grown in the right conditions, this chamomile can produce flowers within a matter of a few weeks. Due to its sun-loving nature and spreading habit, Roman Chamomile is usually grown outdoors, but can also be grown on a south-facing, sunny windowsill.
This Roman Chamomile Plant is perfectly suited to growing in a container that is 10 to 12 inches wide. As it dislikes overly wet soil, drainage holes must be present to allow excess moisture to drain away.
Watering Roman Chamomile Plant
Once established, this chamomile is relatively drought tolerant. However, it will need regular watering after planting and for the first growing season to help it get its roots down.
Feeding Roman Chamomile Plant
Generally, Roman Chamomile does not require any additional fertilizer. If this herb is overfed, it may produce excessive growth at the expense of the flowers.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
