when does chamomile bloom?

[alias_garden]

I bought a couple of chamomile starts at a local nursery and they seem ok, they've been in the ground about 2-3 weeks and i was just wondering when the flowers show up. so far i don't even see any buds? it's roman chamomile if that makes a difference.

Mine is blooming right now. However, I'm several degrees of latitude south of you; maybe in three or so weeks?

I'm not sure which variety of chamomile I have; it has yellow centers and white petals and was the only variety available last fall when I purchased it. So...it's what I have. (I think the label is still in the container; I'll do my best to look at it later today.)

I wonder if you accidentally bought the cultivar ‘Treneague’ , which was developed for chamomile lawns. It doesn't bloom.

Other than that specific cultivar, Roman chamomile blooms late spring to summer. Yours might just be a little slow, since you just planted it. I would give it another 2 to 3 weeks, I think.

In my yard, chamomile is a weed, and it isn't blooming yet.
