 The
Chamomile Lawn is said to have been invented by the Elizabethans.
Well sort of. They grew chamomile seats and pathways so as they sat
or walked on it, the chamomile would emit a sweet smelling fragrance.

| Being a member of the daisy family, with its pretty white flowers, chamomile has a deliciously scented foliage. It has many herbal and other medicinal uses. It can also be grown as groundcover and has a creeping habit that can be kept short to form a lawn. Normally planted in small areas as it takes quite a lot of plants to cover a large area. A small choice of varieties can be grown from seed or from individual plants. | |||

Prepare the soil as you would a regular lawn. Make sure that all perennial weeds are removed before planting seeds or plants, as once established, the weeds will be impossible to eradicate. For the first year hand weed regularly then once or twice a year will be sufficient. Don't allow to grow to long before clipping. Remove any brown areas - the chamomile will quickly spread and cover the bald patches.
