German chamomile has fern-like, light green leaves that are highly dissected, giving them a feathery appearance. Each leaf typically measures about 1-3 inches (2.5-7.5 cm) in length. The leaves are finely divided into narrow, thread-like segments, making them appear delicate and airy. They exhibit a soft texture and lack prominent veins, contributing to their smooth appearance. These characteristics make the leaves easy to distinguish and key identifiers of german chamomile.
German chamomile features daisy-like flowers that bloom from summer to fall. Each flower measures approximately 0.4-1.2 inches (1-3 cm) in diameter, with 10-20 white petal-like rays surrounding a showy, bright yellow domed center disk of tubular yellow florets. The petals are typically elongated and slightly toothed at the tips, giving a delicate appearance. This central disk stands out prominently, complementing the radial arrangement of the white rays, creating a striking floral display.
