Perennial Chamomile



Chamomile is one of the most cheerful companion plants I've found. Not only are the delicate blossoms a nice contrast to larger-leafed veggetables in the garden, but they also emit a honey-apple fragrance that is terrific! I bought two of these plants last month and put them in the bed on each side of my bamboo trellis (originally for green beans...but now maybe for cucumbers). I hope these guys will come back next spring. The beneficial insects love them.
