Matricaria Chamomilla (Chamomile )
Matricaria chamomilla, commonly known as chamomile, is an annual herbaceous plant native to southern and eastern Europe and western Asia.
It features branched, erect stems that grow between 15 to 60 cm tall, with finely divided bipinnate or tripinnate leaves.
The plant produces fragrant flower heads consisting of white ray florets and yellow disc florets, blooming in early to midsummer.
Known as German chamomile or blue chamomile, the plant has been historically valued in various cultures for its distinctive aroma and wide use in herbal infusions.
The characteristic blue color of its essential oil is attributed to the presence of chamazulene.
Chamomile thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun and temperate climates, making it a popular choice for cultivation worldwide.
