While adaptable, it prefers moderate humidity. Sandy loam or loamy soils are ideal for its growth. Blue chamomile is cultivated in the Nile Delta in Egypt.
Blue chamomile oil gets its deep blue colour due to the chamazulene content. It has potent antiinflammatory properties, making it a sought-after ingredient in several formulations.
