of many other plants, especially ones that produce
essential oils. It is thought to increase production of
those oils, making herbs stronger in scent and flavor.
Camomile tea is also thought to be useful to suppress
fungal growth, for example, misting it over seedlings
may prevent damping off. It will tolerate many soils,
but prefers a sandy, well-drained soil with a pH of
7.0-7.5 and lots of sun. Sow seed shallowly in spring.
