Fragrant chamomile
Pineapple weed is an aromatic annual plant with natural charm, appreciated for its finely cut foliage and its sweet pineapple-like scent when its flowers are crushed. It produces small, greenish-yellow flower heads, without white petals, which give it a discreet but very distinctive appearance. Easy to integrate into herb gardens, vegetable patches, edible borders, and naturalized landscapes, it brings a wild, fragrant, and original touch to the garden.
Easy to grow, pineapple weed prefers a sunny to lightly semi-shaded location, in light, well-drained, and moderately fertile soil. It tolerates poorer conditions quite well and can self-seed naturally when it thrives, making it an interesting plant for free-form and rustic gardens. Regular harvesting of the flowers allows you to enjoy its fruity scent and encourage continuous production throughout the season.
Traditionally recognized as an aromatic and medicinal plant, pineapple weed is especially appreciated for its mild, floral, and slightly fruity-tasting infusions. Its flowers can also be used fresh or dried in herbal tea blends, fragrant creations, or sensory gardens. It is an ideal plant for gardeners looking for an easy, fragrant, useful annual full of natural charm.
