Hi Jodie! It rather depends upon....
1. which Ipswich you come from, and
2. which variety of chamomile you bought
OK. I bet you are from Ipswich, Australia, not the UK or the USA, and I bet you have a Matricaria chamomilla plant (tell me if I'm wrong). I hope you do because it grows very easily. It is an annual and will give you magnificant flowers like this one. Make sure you have plenty of good draining soil underneath it so that the roots don't get soggy. It likes sun but if I'm right and you are in Ipswich, Australia, you had better not let it get too hot in the upcoming summer months. Not too much water; mulch is good and compost in the soil if you have it. You shouldn't have to be too fussy about it.
