Hi 🙂
When you say plant early spring, assuming out in the meadow, can that be while there is still chance of frost ? (Zone 9a/b, NoCal). And are these drought tolerant at all once established ? Thankyou

Hi, the chamomiles are early spring growers, are not at all bothered by late frosts, and in many cases flower prior to the drought of summer. I found the Roman Chamomile to be less drought-tolerant this year than I remembered, and a large planting looked good only after side-dressing with moisture-retentive coir. Richo
