Pineapple weed, or disc mayweed, is an annual but re-seeds readily. It grows to 6 to 8 inches tall and develops yellow mounded looking flowers. They do not develop flower petals, only the yellow head. They are a cousin to the Roman and German chamomile flowers and can be used for tea as chamomile is. They prefer to grow in dry areas: gravel, cracks of sidewalks, edges of driveways, or roadway sides. Would grow well in a rock garden where it doesn’t get much water. Spew the seeds where you want them to grow and they’ll do the rest. Mark it so you know what you planted. The leaves and flower tops are used in teas. They do have a pineapple scent and the yellow flowers do have a light pineapple taste. 50 seeds per pkg.
