Default chamomile lawn



Ho hum. I believe I have a Chamaemelum nobile and it is quite the
most untidy plant in the garden. Sure it stays low - but that is only
because the flowers are borne on such long and lax stems that the
plant can't lift itself off the floor where it sprawls drunkenly and
seemingly not such a good weed suppressant. It has it's charm for me
by adding a touch of chaos to the upright architectural stuff. That,
mind you is the description of my one plant and doesn't make allowance
for many planted in a sward.

I have searched Google for mention of A. trenegue but can't find
reference to it let alone a picture (looked under 'Chamaemelum' too).

The name is familiar to me though - precisely for the reason someone
has mentioned - that it is the best for lawns.



I found this by searching chamomile lawn tenegue.
