An annual medicinal plant, Matricaria chamomilla, also known as scented mayweed or camomile pharmacy, is a versatile addition to your garden. The plant has an erect stem that grows 30-60 cm high, with biconvex-pinnate leaves that are 2-5 cm long. Its flowers are collected in baskets on long peduncles located at the ends of the shoots.
During the short growing season of 60-70 days, the aboveground mass is removed at the peak of flowering. Harvesting involves mowing, drying, and proper storage. You can expect a yield of 0.5-0.7 kg/m². Chamomile infusion offers numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, antiseptic, analgesic, diaphoretic, and choleretic effects.
