Pineappleweed

Pineappleweed is a wonderful herb who is very closely related to Chamomile. 

As its name suggests, this plant tastes and smells of chamomile with a distinct hint of pineapple!

A great herb for teas and other garnishes, flowers have small petals that appear non-existent, and make an excellent aesthetic on a plate.

Pineappleweed is an easy herb to grow in the garden and a great herb for novice gardeners to try!

Instructions

Seeds can be scattered any time in the season.

Plant in the garden or ideally, in pots with rich soil. Plants grow very quickly and will bloom very shortly after. 

Plants readily drop seed and will disperse seedlings in the garden very quickly. While easy to pluck, it's recommended to harvest flowers when they are ready as indicated by a yellow flower, leaving behind buds to bloom after.

Collecting seed is very easy. Wait for flower heads to turn brownish, and trim off into a container, let sit to dry and squeeze buds when fully dry. Seeds will immediately drop and can be collected and dried. Disc flowers will still be attached to the seeds - wait for the fallen seeds to dry and rub together with your fingers to separate. Hold on a tray and carefully blow away the lighter dry flowers from the heavier seed.
