A quick growing and easy to harvest chamomile. The flowers are most commonly used to make tea, which can help calm the nerves and soothe the stomach. Flowers can be harvested when they are in full bloom, and a blueberry rake can really speed things up. Flowers can be used fresh or dried by spreading them out one layer deep on a screen or in a dry place out of direct sunlight with good ventilation. Stir occasionally over a few days until dry.
