This chamomile produces masses of soft yellow daisies that fade to cream as they mature. These appear above feathery, filigree-like dark green leaves from late spring to early summer. It's perfect to cheer up a sunny herb garden or rockery, will tolerate dry soil, and is attractive to bees and butterflies. - Garden care: Cut back to the ground in early autumn to produce stronger growth the following year. Although it will self-seed freely, this cultivar rarely comes true from seed.
