Points of interest
Cape Chamomile is covered in a mass of white flower-heads in spring, and most distinctive when covered in fluffy white fruiting heads from late spring to early summer. Cape Chamomile is a member of the genus Eriocephalus, a woody, evergreen and highly aromatic shrub that looks quite unlike her namesake. Rather, she owes her name to her yield of azuline rich oil, which exhibits a magical royal blue hue.
