Default chamomile lawn

Hi,

I've taken a fancy to planting up a small chamomile lawn. From what
I've read it's best to use chamomile trenegue, but does anyone know
where I can get it from - I've seen the occasional plant at the odd
nursery/online at around £1.50 a plant but that works out expensive
even for a small area.


Sow? For some reason, what T&M market as chamomile lawn is chameamelum
nobile, or anthemis nobilis, not trenegue, but anyway it cost me about 2.49
for a packet.


Treneague is a non-flowering variety of c. nobile (which AIUI is why
people prefer it for chamomile lawns) so you never get seed from it.
