Growing garden chamomile "Silver Princess"

And which of the girls didn’t tell fortunes using a daisy? Everyone has known this plant since childhood; the most popular two types are wild chamomile and garden chamomile. Wild chamomile has small flowers, while garden chamomile has large flowers with a yellow center framed by long white petals. Growing garden chamomile "Silver Princess" does not present much trouble.

This is a small plant up to 30 cm high. It blooms throughout the growing season due to the formation of new stems.

On a personal plot, give her sunny place. Preferably growing garden chamomile on calcareous or neutral soils. Before planting, water the soil and enrich it with microelements. If groundwater is located close to the surface, then drain it. Since garden chamomile does not like too wet soil, which can lead to rotting of the root system.

For the winter, the chamomile root system should be covered dry fallen leaves or special covering material. Remove leaves in early spring to prevent damping off. If you used covering material, then you don’t have to rush.

The bush should be divided into 3 - 4 years of life. Otherwise, not only will the flowering be poor, but the plant may also die.

Garden chamomile responds well to organic and mineral fertilizers. In spring, apply fertilizers containing NPK complex. It has a very good effect on long-term flowering. During drought, the growing season and flowering period, the plant needs moisture.

Once you plant the Silver Princess chamomile, expect it to bloom in July until frost. Next year it will bloom earlier, in June. Remove faded buds to stimulate the growth of new ones.
