| Bought one yesterday. I have a feverfew plant in an upright form, and I really like the white flowers. Thought it would be nice to have it in a creeping form. Then when I got home I realized that I had confounded them in my mind; that chamomile and feverfew are not the same things. The leaves are different and it should have registered with me. Is it invasive? The location where I want to put it tends to be dry, dappled sun, with shade after 3 pm. Thanks! |

| Hi Linnea, you're the only person I've seen to have this wonderful ground cover. Mine in zone 9 is in full sun, gets watered when I remember, slowly creeps to perhaps double its size in 1 year (it's in slightly improved clay). I love its lush mat. Great color and texture. It does have one period every year when I think it dying - think that's about now. Easy to spade out a piece for transplanting. Stays under 4 inches in height (usually about 2 inches here). |

| There are a couple of plants called chamomile. Matricaria recutita AKA German Chamomile is an annual. Chamaemelum nobile AKA Roman Chamomile is a perennial that should be hardy for you. Do you know which you have? I have the annual one as a weed and it does self-seed around in the lawn and in areas of poorer soil. |
