Field chamomile is a charming daisy-like wildflower that grows easily in average to poor soils with partial shade to full sun. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, as it prefers moderately moist, well-drained conditions. It self-seeds readily, making it a carefree addition to cottage gardens and meadow plantings.
