Manzana
Chamomile(Matricaria chamomilla)
A tetraploid German chamomile cultivar developed via induced mutation of a wild Spanish chamomile population, classified as an alpha-bisabolol chemotype and valued for a high proportion of the bisabolol/matricin type with a low bisabolol-oxide ratio.
Flavor Profile
Sweet, apple-scented aroma (the name derives from 'manzanilla'/'manzana', Spanish for apple), consistent with high-quality chamomile.
Visual Characteristics
Larger, more robust flower heads and foliage typical of tetraploid chamomile, with the standard white-and-yellow daisy inflorescence.
Growing Tips
Adapted to temperate climates and tolerant of medium-fertility soils; grown for dried-flower and essential-oil production rich in alpha-bisabolol.
