Chocolate Mint

Chamaemelum nobile

Description
Roman chamomile is the perennial counterpart to the more common German chamomile, which is an annual. In comparison, Roman chamomile is more of a low growing groundcover with slightly less flowering. You can make a calming herbal tea from the flowers just like with German chamomile, but the flowers of Roman chamomile have a distinct apple-like scent. It's a great plant to use as a thick groundcover in a perennial planting.
