Chamomile Double Plants

Chamomile Double is a variety of chamomile, a well-known herb that has been cherished for its medicinal and calming properties for centuries. The double-flowered variety, in particular, is appreciated for its aesthetic appeal, creating a real showstopping display in the garden with its white petals.

The standout feature of Chamomile Double is its double-layered flowers, which means it has more petals than the traditional chamomile varieties. The flowers are daisy-like and typically have a bright, golden-yellow centre surrounded by layers of white, finely divided petals.

Like other chamomile varieties, Chamomile Double is known for its pleasant, apple-like fragrance. The aromatic compounds in the flowers contribute to its soothing and calming scent. Chamomile, in general, is well-known for its potential medicinal benefits. It is often used to make herbal teas known for their calming and digestive properties. Chamomile is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and mild sedative effects which is just one of the reasons we love it so much.

Chamomile Double, like other chamomile varieties, typically prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location. It is a relatively low-maintenance herb which is great for beginner growers and seasoned professionals alike. We recommend regular pruning of the flowers throughout its peak season as this can encourage continuous blooming, extending the season and the joy you can take from these plants.

• Delivery options explained

   

  Pre-order delivery option

  From January to March, customers are able to pre-order herbs for delivery later in spring, to ensure that you receive the unusual varieties that you desire. We begin dispatch of pre-orders from late March, once all items in your order are available for dispatch in one delivery, as some varieties will be available a little later in the year than others. You will receive notification when this dispatch takes place along with tracking information but if you would like an estimated delivery date after placing your pre-order, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  Order Now delivery option

  From late March to autumn, herbs will be available for immediate dispatch subject to their availability. We dispatch our fresh potted herbs Monday-Wednesday each week to avoid postal delays over the weekend. We aim to dispatch all fresh herb orders in less than seven days, i.e. an order placed Thursday-Sunday would likely be dispatched the following Monday. Orders placed Monday-Tuesday, we would aim to dispatch by the Wednesday of that week.

  If you have a specific dispatch date that you would like us to aim towards, please do not hesitate to let us know. We can't guarantee a particular date but will strive to do our best for you.

  Dispatch information

  All orders are dispatched via a next day courier, ensuring that your herbs reach you promptly and in good health. For customers in the Highlands and Channel Islands this is a 48-hour delivery service. (From 2021 onwards we are unable to ship to Northern Ireland.)

  Please note that we do not offer a collection service. Our site is not suitable to receive visitors and this is a rule that we have to apply universally out of respect to our neighbours and family.

   

  Packaging

  
  We aim to reuse packaging as much as possible. Your herbs will be delivered in taupe recyclable pots. We are moving over to using plastic blister cell packaging which contains at least 90% recycled content and is itself 100% recyclable. These things are important to you and are important to us.
