Know before you buy
Each packet contains a minimum of 350 German Chamomile seeds, providing plenty of volume for a productive home garden.
German Chamomile should be direct-sown outdoors after the danger of the last frost has passed. The seeds require full sun and well-draining soil to germinate effectively.
You can expect to harvest your chamomile flowers between 60 and 90 days after planting. Regular harvesting of the blooms will actually encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the season.
You can use the flowers fresh for brewing tea or dry them for long-term storage in your home apothecary. Both the flowers and leaves are harvestable once the plant is in bloom.
Once mature, German Chamomile plants reach about 24 inches in height. You should space them 10 to 12 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and growth.
This variety is an annual, meaning it completes its life cycle in one growing season. You will need to replant seeds each year to maintain your harvest.
