Planting & Care

Sow German Chamomile seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days at temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing.

Chamomile thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest flowers when fully open for tea or dried arrangements. Regular harvesting encourages more blooms. This annual readily self-seeds; allow some flowers to mature if you want it to return next year.
