chamomile questions :)

[4390evans]

I bought a bundle of seeds and in there was chamomile, I've sowed it today in a pot but I wonder what to do with it afterwards?

Should I put it among veg is it a good pollinator attractor?
Can I use it in food?
Is there any other uses for it??

Thanks guys

The tea is quite nice and is supposed to help you relax and sleep.

Sorry, RL, but I have to disagree with you, chamomile tea is delicious. It smells and tastes like new-mown hay

Chamomile tea is an antibacterial so is used for cleaning the eyes during conjunctivitis, it's safe even for newborns

I sowed a chamomile tea bag and presto it has sprouted into plants!
I am really hoping it is German chamomile as I haven't been able to buy the seeds anywhere.

Ps I'll let you know what I get if and when the flowers come

I have it on top of my raspberry planter for tea but also as a groundcover/weed suppressant

I think Victoriana Nurseries had some last time I looked ....

Cheers I'll take a look
Think it's the matriculara type I need
I bought roman last time which smells nice but doesn't really give a nice tea.
