Chamomile, Bodegold
Matricaria recutita
Chamomile has a very old reputation as being an excellent companion plant; improving the health and well-being of anything it grows near. It may be because pollinators go wild on its lovely and profuse daisy-like, pineapple scented flowers. This is an improved German type chamomile which blooms earlier with high yields. Known widely for its calming effect, Chamomile is used in teas, bathwater, and potpourri.
