Planting & Care
Sow German Chamomile seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 6–12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.
Once established, chamomile is relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Harvest flowers when fully open for tea or dried arrangements. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. This annual herb readily self-seeds, so you may see new plants return the following season.
