Chamomile has a secret power that many gardeners don’t realize. The herb is popular for flower beds, wildflower gardens, containers, and alternative lawns, and is commonly used in food, cosmetics, and herbal teas. What is less well-known about chamomile, though, is that it can be used as a homemade antifungal treatment.
Many gardeners who grow chamomile may pick flowers to brew a cup of soothing tea for themselves. Why not make some for your plants too? It might surprise you, but a diluted chamomile tea offers a natural preventative treatment for fungal diseases that may affect container plants and seedlings.
