Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) and German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) are aromatic herbs prized for their daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers and soothing, apple-like fragrance.

Both thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, attracting pollinators like bees, and their flowers are harvested for calming teas, herbal remedies, and skincare products due to their anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties.
