The Egyptians dedicated it to their sun god, and Greek and Roman physicians prescribed it widely — a tradition of calming, gentle remedies that has carried right through to the chamomile tea on our shelves today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts name is wonderfully evocative: it comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003echamaimelon\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning “ground apple,” a nod to the sweet, apple-like fragrance released when you brush against its feathery foliage and flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanical characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerman chamomile is a slender, branching annual reaching 30–60 cm, with finely divided, ferny leaves and masses of small white daisies with raised golden-yellow centres. The flowers are the prize, picked and dried for fragrant, calming teas.

Sow in spring in full sun and well-drained soil, either directly or in trays, and thin to give plants room to branch. It is easy, quick and generous, flowering all summer and self-seeding for next year.
