How many plants do I need?
We recommend plant spacing 15cm (6") apart
| Number of plants | Area covered |
|---|---|
| 50 | 1 square metre (11 sq.ft) |
| 100 | 2 square metres (22 sq.ft) |
| 500 | 10 square metres (12 sq.yds) |
| 36 | 1 square yard |
These are approximate areas, as you can plant closer together or further apart. The number of plants needed depends on the area to be covered and how soon cover is required. Please contact us at morehavens@camomilelawns.co.uk if you need your quantity calculated.
Which variety should I plant?
We grow two varieties of low growing, fragrant, evergreen no-mow chamomile, ‘Treneague’ and ‘Dwarf’. To the untrained eye there is very little difference between the two varieties, but choosing the best variety for your garden is important.
- Chamaemelum nobile ‘Treneague’ – a low-growing (2-3 inches), sweetly fragrant, evergreen creeping variety which prefers fairly fertile, neutral to slightly acidic soil which is free-draining, in a sunny position or lightly dappled shade. This variety does not flower.
- Chamaemelum nobile dwarf – low growing, though slightly taller than the 'Treneague' variety (2-4 inches) with its earthier fragrance and slightly darker green leaves, this more vigorous evergreen creeping variety will grow in poorer or more alkaline soils and can tolerate shadier habitats, though it prefers a sunny position.
