Umuthi Chamomile (Edible Flowers) Growing Seeds produce daisy-like blooms with a gentle apple scent and a light floral taste. Chamomile is an easy edible ornamental that grows well after the last frost in full sun and loamy, moderately rich, well-drained soil. The edible petals are lovely in salads, cakes, bakes, summer drinks, cordials, and table garnishes, while dried flower heads can be used for a gentle herbal tea. It also attracts bees and other beneficial insects, making it a beautiful addition to veggie beds, borders, and children’s gardens.
♡ Why we love it: Chamomile is soft, pretty, fragrant, and useful. It brings pollinators into the garden, adds charm to plates and drinks, and gives growers a rewarding edible flower from a small patch.
