Calm-o-mile™ Chamaemelum

Chamaemelum nobile ‘MAC01’ PBR Trade Name Calm-o-mile™

Chamaemelum nobile lawn alternative, bred for Australia’s tough conditions.

  • Great for reducing weed invasion.
  • Commonly used as a low-mow lawn alternative in shade, courtyard settings and amongst pavers.
  • Grows best when the ground is flat.
  • Amazing in the heat. Also thrives in semi-shade, in the cold, and flood water.
  • Gives off a nice, relaxing fragrance.

Plants that are as “flat as a tac” are few and far between.

Calm o mile great as a lawn alternative

Although chamomile can be low growing, they tend to usually grow a little tall to be classed as truly ground hugging.

The new Calm-o-mile™ Chamomile not only hugs the ground closely but also spreads well from rhizomes, repairing itself from wear damage and providing a true lawn alternative for low foot traffic areas that does not need regular mowing.

Calm-o-mile™ Chamomile is a step above the common or other forms. It forms a dense mat, which helps outcompete weeds and prevent soil erosion. It grows very flat, with only its flowers sitting above the foliage.

Using it around pavers or stepping stones protects it from heavy wear, but its natural density allows for minor walking. It appears to be able to handle frost, heat, humidity, and Australia’s harsh conditions far better than regular chamomile. It has been bred to cope with Australia’s hot climate as well.
