Traditionally white chrysanthemum flowers are dried to make tea. I have several garden mums in full bloom and a hard freeze is coming. I am thinking about harvesting the flowers for tea before that. However, the red ones don't have any scent and the orange ones have mild chrysanthemum fragrance. I don't have light color flowers. So does petal color matter for chrysanthemum tea?
Does anyone here grow both garden mum and chamomile? How do they compare for tea making? Thanks.

Why should I lose weight? They make bigger overalls. And they sure don't make overalls for tiny ads:
