Chamomile

FillerAll seasons

Chamomile is a small, daisy-like herb flower — white petals ringing a yellow heart. Its soft, apple-like scent gave it its name, from the Greek for "earth apple", and as a tea it is famous for calming the mind.

The story of its meaning

Chamomile means "Strength in adversity". A hardy wildflower that rises again when trodden and spreads its scent, it became a symbol of the strength to endure hard times.

Meanings by color

When to gift it

It suits quiet encouragement for a friend going through a difficult season. Fold it into a calm Words of Comfort bouquet, or an unassuming wildflower-style arrangement.

Pairing tips

Make a natural, meadow-mood bouquet with White Tulips and Baby's Breath. A neutral small bloom, it settles comfortably into any color scheme.
