Also Known As: Chamomile Flowers Whole, German Chamomile Flowers, Matricaria chamomilla Flowers, Dried Chamomile Blossoms, Chamomile Herb Flowers
Part Used: Whole dried flower heads of Matricaria chamomilla
Description: Chamomile Flower Whole is produced from the fully opened flower heads of Matricaria chamomilla, an annual herb native to Europe and widely cultivated in temperate regions around the world. The plant typically grows 20–60 cm in height and features slender, branching stems with finely divided, feathery green leaves. During the flowering season, usually late spring through summer, the plant produces small daisy-like flowers with white ray petals surrounding a raised yellow central disc. These flowers are harvested at peak bloom to capture their complete structure and natural colour.
The whole dried flowers retain their recognizable form, including the delicate white petals and rounded yellow centres. When dried, the blossoms display soft cream to pale yellow tones with light green stem bases. The intact flower heads provide visual appeal and maintain the natural botanical character of the plant, making them suitable for applications where whole floral material is preferred.
Flower heads are hand-harvested or gently collected when fully open, then cleaned to remove stems, leaves, and field debris. The flowers are dried using controlled air drying or low temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving shape, colour, and texture. After drying, the flowers are carefully sorted to maintain whole blossoms and consistent quality, resulting in a clean, stable botanical ingredient.
Uses: Chamomile Flower Whole is used in herbal tea-style infusions, decorative jar displays, potpourri-style blends, botanical craft projects, resin art, and educational herb kits. The intact blossoms are valued for their gentle floral appearance, soft colour palette, and recognizable daisy like form, making them suitable for visual displays, floral blends, and creative projects that highlight natural plant structure and seasonal botanical materials.
