Description/Size:

Harvest is easier with larger flowers and, more effective for occasional insomnia, with its higher oil content. Pick whole flowers and dry on horizontal window screens. After 2-3 days, place a tray, under the screen and rub flowers. Only white petals and yellow centers should fall through to the tray. Avoid bitter stem & green caps (although they tend to be a good ""digestive""). We make a tea using 2 tsp. dried herb per cup of hot water.
