If you toss and turn at night, you’ll love the soothing benefits of homegrown chamomile steeped into a calming tea. Large shows of petite, sweetly fragrant, daisy-like flowers look lovely in the garden or as a culinary accent. The pretty, edible flowers add a slightly sweet flavor to salads, desserts, and drinks. It’s also a great companion plant in the vegetable garden, attracting beneficial insects that pollinate plants and prey on pests, helping keep your garden healthy and productive. Both flowers and leaves can be used to make chamomile tea, but if the leaves taste too bitter, skip them and use the fresh or dried flowers alone.
