Jefferson Documented
This ancient herb of western and northern Europe remains a popular and useful plant in kitchen and ornamental gardens today. The single-flowered Roman Chamomile has been considered the most potent medicinal form since the thirteenth century, especially in Britain where it tends to escape into lawns naturally. John Gerard in his 1633 Herbal described the single form as the Common "Cammomill" with white petals around the yellow "yhrums." It was grown in American gardens by the seventeenth century and Thomas Jefferson listed Chamomile as a kitchen garden herb in 1794.
Arrives in a 3.5" square pot.
