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; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing.

Chamomile thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Harvest flowers when fully open for teas or crafts. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding.
