Indigenous Chamomile (Lasiospermum bipinnatum) is a beautiful South African indigenous shrub that produces masses of cheerful daisy-like flowers from spring through summer. Its finely divided, aromatic foliage adds soft texture to the garden, while the flowers attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.
