Golden chamomile is a cheerful, drought-tolerant perennial that produces masses of bright yellow daisy-like flowers throughout summer and is very easy to grow in well-drained soil. Plant it in a sunny to partly shaded spot and water regularly until established, after which it requires minimal attention. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
