Latin name :Cleucanthe
You can grow chamomile in zones 3-9.
Chamomile grows best in cool conditions and should be planted in part shade, but will also grow full sun. The soil should be dry.
Too much fertilizer will result in lots of weakly flavored foliage and few flowers.
Chamomile is drought tolerant so only needs to be watered in times of prolonged drought.
For the most part, chamomile is not affected by many pests. It is often recommended as a companion plant to plant in the vegetable garden as its strong scent often keeps pests away.
