Chamomile Turf
Chamomile turf, made of low-growing aromatic herbs, creates a wonderful feature in a garden. The finely
divided leaves create a feathery appearance, and every time you walk across it, the lawn will release its
soothing fragrance into the air.
In smaller gardens a chamomile lawn makes a great grass substitute as long as it’s not subjected to
heavy wear and tear. For larger gardens a chamomile path looks and smells fantastic.
There are many chamomiles available, but only one is suitable for lawns: Anthemis nobilis, Treneague. This is a
very compact type that spreads to form a dense mat.
Laying Chamomile turf
When you’re planning your chamomile lawn, remember that it likes free-draining soil in full sunlight. So if you have
heavy soil it is well worth incorporating some horticultural grit. Some people create a raised bed to improve drainage.
Chamomile does not like sitting in waterlogged soil!
Prepare the bed as if you were going to lay normal turf. Dig the ground over, removing any stones and perennial
weeds. Rake the surface level, and walk over the ground on your heels to firm the soil. Rake again to get the final level.
Chamomile Turf comes in square blocks measuring 500mm by 500mm. There are four squares to a square meter. Lay the turf
in a brick-like fashion, working off a board if the soil is soft.
How to look after a Chamomile lawn
The great thing about chamomile is that it doesn’t need any mowing. It only grows to a height of 6cms (2.5”). The occasional
clipping keeps any long shoots in control and helps sideways spread.
It’s worth giving chamomile a light dressing of a controlled release fertiliser every year, especially if you have
sandy soil. It’s a good idea to sprinkle a mixture of sieved soil and horticultural sand over the lawn each spring, and
tread or roll in. This encourages the growth of adventitious roots from the crushed shoots, promoting a healthier, denser
cushion.
Chamomile is not very competitive, so try to remove any grass weeds and other weeds as they appear.

Chamomile Turf - Customer Feedback:
Last June time I took delivery of some chamomile lawn turf from you. I am so pleased with the results I Just wanted to share it with you. The roses are from Peter Beales - Jacqueline du Pre. The perfume
of those + lavender + chamomile is unbelievable.
The blackbirds caused considerable damage during the winter months by scratching and pulling it up but I decided to net it and this prevented any further damage. It has now nearly all
recovered and spread to cover the damaged patches. Obviously it is wise to net in the cold weather.
Thank you for all the pleasure it is giving me.
The pictures below show this customer's garden shortly after delivery of Chamomile Turf, and the same garden after one year.
