    Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is a perennial, aromatic herb hardy on zones 4a-9b. It spreads by creeping stems to form a luscious, fine-textured ground cover. Small, daisy-like white flowers with yellow disks bloom in the summer time. I have it growing beneath lavender, where it is a beautiful green contrast all season to lavender's silvery gray stems and purple blossoms.
