This variety is a pleasantly sweet scented annual herb with small, white, highly aromatic daisy like flowers. Traditional dried and used as an infusion to treat various ills (consult a medical professional before trying) and also for flavouring things from Benedictine to fruits. Taller than its Roman cousin at 60-75cm, its leaves are fern like and feathery. This plant is a wonderful addition to any border. Copes with poor, clay soil, prefers a sunny location but can also cope with hot, drier locations or even light shade. Perennial. Download sowing guide
