Chamomile ‘Roman’ is prized for its daisy-like white flowers, which smother the low-growing plants in summer. As well as being very popular with pollinators, the flowers can be harvested and used to make chamomile tea, renowned for its soothing qualities. With its delicate aromatic foliage, this low, spreading perennial also makes a beautiful plant for the front of a border.

Can’t plant straight away?
Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist
Planting tips and hints:
Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly. When planting in containers, use a good multi-purpose compost.
Feeding and aftercare: Water in dry periods and trim occasionally to keep the plants from getting leggy.

How to grow
Growing herbs can be a rewarding and simple endeavor, whether you’re cultivating them indoors, on a balcony, or in a garden.
Prepare the SoilHerbs generally prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.For outdoor planting, amend the soil with compost or organic matter to ensure it drains well but retains some moisture. For containers, use a high-quality potting mix or make your own with equal parts potting soil, perlite, and compost.
Planting Your HerbsPlant spacing: Ensure each herb has enough room to grow. For example, basil and mint need about 12-18 inches, while chives or parsley can be spaced closer together (6-8 inches apart).
WateringKeep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Herbs don’t like to sit in soggy soil.Watering frequency depends on your climate, the container size, and soil type, but generally, water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew. Water at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry.
SunlightMost herbs require at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you're growing herbs indoors, a south-facing windowsill is ideal. If you have limited sunlight, you can use grow lights designed for plants.Some herbs, like mint, parsley, and cilantro, can tolerate partial shade, but most, like basil and thyme, thrive in full sun.
FertilisingHerbs are generally light feeders. Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser or organic options like compost or fish emulsion.Over-fertilising can lead to overly lush growth with less flavor. Apply fertiliser sparingly, about once a month during the growing season.If you're growing herbs in containers, you may need to fertilise more often as container soil nutrients are quickly depleted.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Plug Plants: Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. These are large plugs than our other sizes and can be planted straight into their final position or pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.9cm & 13cm Plants: Much more established and larger plants than our plug ranges, ready to plant out straight away, these will establish quickly and produce flower and fruit much quicker than smaller plugs. Protect from frost if required.1L Plants: Plants in 1L grower pots are more mature and can be planted straight into their final position.
