How to grow

How To Grow Roman Chamomile From Seed: Sow Roman Chamomile seeds in spring after danger of frost in a weed-free prepared seedbed. Sow the herb seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly cover with peat moss. Keep the seeds moist until germination occurs.

Roman Chamomile plants may deteriorate in very cold or wet winters, but they will most likely recover. Harvest chamomile flowers when they are first fully opened. Use them fresh or freeze them for later use. Another benefit is that the flowers are used in herbal teas and are said to have medicinal properties.

Flower Specifications

Roman Chamomile holds soil in place even on slopes, it spreads to fill in gaps, and it blocks out most weeds. It can be mowed (after flowering and set the mower on the highest setting), and it tolerates light foot traffic. This ground cover is unique, aromatic, drought tolerant, attractive and is well-suited for covering large areas and can be started by sowing the herb seeds.

LATIN NAME

Matricaria Recutita

German Chamomile (Matricaria Recutita) - Clouds of airy fragrance, dotted with tiny white daisies! Just the right size for the front of the border! German Chamomile is a must-have herb if you enjoy drinking hot or cold teas. The flowers are a staple ingredient in herbal teas, where they have a soothing, calming effect. Chamomile herb is also used in shampoos and hair rinses to lighten blond hair. The plants are easy to establish from Chamomile seeds and are a beautiful addition to the herb garden. Up to 24 inches tall and 15 inches wide, the German Chamomile plant has many thin branches of finely divided green leaves. Small 3/4 inch white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers appear from early summer to fall.

How To Grow German Chamomile From Herb Seed: After danger of frost, sow Chamomile seeds in prepared soil that is well-drained, neutral to sightly acidic. Barely cover herb seeds (they need light to germinate). For areas with a shorter growing season, start Chamomile seeds indoors 6 weeks before last frost. When plants reach height of approximately 2 inches and have begun to display their first true leaves, they are ready for transplanting into light, well-drained soil in sun. First harvest can be done when plants are in full bloom, approximately two months from sowing. Tiny white flowers can easily be cut from plant. Chamomile will generate new blooms for repeated harvests. Spread the flowers to dry on a cloth or screen in the sun. Remove leaf and stem pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. German Chamomile is a liberal self-sower, dropping its own seeds for next year's garden.
