Common questions about False Camomile
- Is False Camomile deer resistant?
- False Camomile (Matricaria sp.) is rated Rarely Damaged on the Rutgers NJAES four-tier scale. Deer almost always leave this alone.
- What hardiness zones does False Camomile grow in?
- False Camomile is hardy in USDA zones 2 to 11. Outside that range it will either not survive winter or will struggle with summer heat. That is the range across the genus, so a named species or cultivar may be narrower.
