Chamaemelum nobile
Family: Asteraceae
Perennial ground cover. Native to southern and western Europe
and the Mediterranean. Cultivated everywhere. Plants grow and
interlock to form a tough carpet, which can be mowed to maintain as a close-cropped
lawn. A good site for an afternoon break from gardening. Pleasant
dreams. Cultivation: Easy. Sow seed in fall or early
spring, in flats or directly where desired. Do not thin direct-seeded
areas. Space transplants 8 inches apart. Grows to only a few
inches, but flowers up to 22 inches tall.
