Dyers Chamomile

Cota tinctoria

Dyers Chamomile is a clump-forming perennial grown for the bright yellow dye extracted from its daisy-like flowers and for a long summer bloom in the perennial border. Native to the Mediterranean region and temperate Asia, it wants full sun and dry to medium, well-drained soil, thriving on poor or chalky ground. It struggles in heavy clay and in hot, humid summers, and benefits from deadheading to keep flowering and encourage new basal growth.
