Hello, is this plant eaten by deer or rabbits? I assume not… thank you!

I planted these seeds and the petals are white instead of yellow as they are pictured. They look just like ox eye daisy flowers but but foliage looks the same as the photos. Do you know if they’ll still provide color if I use them for dye? Thanks!

Hi Lauren, I had to walk out to our large patch of dyer’s chamomile to make sure. The petals are all golden yellow. They are somewhat ephemeral–the disc flower is large and bulbous and very yellow, and the petals tend to fold up under it–in the morning dew these all looked like they had no ray flowers at all. If you planted seed from us, then the seed came from this patch, and the petals should be golden yellow. If they are not, it may be a soil issue. Otherwise, I don’t get it. Richo

It says they’re for tea, do they have same medicinal benefits as Roman or German?

Hi JoAnn, It’s not really the same. Some people do make tea of the flowers of Anthemis tinctoria. It has a sweat-inducing effect. It doesn’t really taste as nice as our german or roman chamomiles. it is however pretty nice in the flower garden, and i note that right now, midwinter, its making very showy mounds of green at the edges of my fields. richo
