This variety is an improved version of traditional German Chamomile. It produces larger flowers—twice the diameter of the traditional type—and has twice the essential oil content, making it more potent for both medicinal and aromatic uses.
Known for its sweet, apple-like fragrance, this plant is often referred to as "the apple on the ground" in Greek. The Egyptians revered it as the "flower of the sun," while ancient Greeks used it in remedies and herbal teas. It was even used by early rural physicians and remains one of the most popular herbs in Europe for tea. Breweries also added it to beer for flavor. In many foreign beauty salons, chamomile tea is served before treatments to help clients relax.
Aroma: Spicy, slightly sweet, and apple-like.
Cultivation: Thrives in full sun, well-ventilated areas, and well-drained sandy loam or deep, loose soil. Sow seeds directly into the ground, planting 2-3 seeds per hole, with a spacing of 15-25 cm between plants. Fertilize every 2-3 months, keep the soil consistently moist, and you'll enjoy longer, healthier growth.
Benefits: Helps with sleep, reduces stress and anxiety, acts as a diuretic, softens skin, aids digestion, relieves headaches, promotes relaxation, and soothes skin allergies. For centuries, chamomile has been valued for its calming and soothing properties, making it a go-to herb for natural wellness.
