Description

Also known as Anthemis arvensis, Corn Chamomile one of the cheerful cornfield flowers, this very easy annual produces large, daisy-like flowers throughout summer and autumn and is highly attractive to pollinators. True chamomile is a creeping perennial plant of grassland. As well as being an annual, this cornfield equivalent instead grows upright and well branched, the stems well clothed in neat little leaves that are grey-green and highly dissected, giving them a fern-like, feathery appearance. When crushed, their scent is strong and pungent. Each plant produces a profusion of large flowers – yellow and white daisies that appear over a long season from June until September.
