Chamomile German Herb Seed

Clouds of airy fragrance, dotted with tiny white daisies! Just the right size for the front of the border!

German Chamomile (Matricaria Recutita) is a must-have herb if you enjoy drinking hot or cold teas. The flowers are a staple ingredient in herbal tea concoctions, where they have a soothing, calming effect. It is also used in shampoos and hair rinses to lighten blond hair.

Up to 24 inches tall and 15 inches wide, German chamomile has many thin branches of finely divided green leaves. Small 3/4 inch white and yellow daisy-like flowers appear from early summer to fall.

Sow herb seeds in fall or spring in well-drained, neutral to sightly acid soil. After danger of frost, sow seeds in open ground well exposed. Barely cover seed (they need light to germinate). When plants are 2" tall, thin or transplant plants to 4 inches apart in light well-drained soil in sun to create a lawn effect. Plants may deteriorate in very cold or wet winters, but will most likely recover. Harvest flowers when first fully opened, and use fresh or freeze.
