The stem is procumbent, the leaves alternate, bipinnate, finely dissected, and downy to glabrous. The solitary, terminal flowerheads, rising 8 to twelve [[inch]]es above the ground, consist of prominent yellow disk flowers and silver-white ray flowers. The flowering time is June and July, and its fragrance is sweet, crisp, fruity and herbaceous.

Chamomile is also used [[Cosmetics|cosmetically]], primarily to make a rinse for [[blonde hair]], and is popular in [[aromatherapy]], whose practitioners believe it to be a calming agent to end stress and aid in [[sleep]].
