German Chamomile, Heirloom Herb Seeds

German Chamomile — The Tea-Maker’s Chamomile, Apple-Scented & Beloved Since Ancient Times

German Chamomile is the variety preferred for making tea — and for good reason. Tiny, daisy-like flowers carry a distinctive apple and pineapple-like scent that fills the garden and the cup. Dried flowers make a relaxing herbal tea with a sweet, fruity fragrance that has been treasured for centuries — ancient authorities wrote about chamomile’s calming and medicinal properties, and it remains one of the most popular and effective herbal products in the world today. Easy to grow from seed, German Chamomile self-sows freely and returns year after year once established. 55–65 days.

Growing Notes

Surface sow outdoors in early spring or fall — chamomile seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover. Press seeds gently into moist soil. Full sun to part shade. Thin to 6–8 inches apart. Water consistently until established — drought tolerant once mature. Harvest flowers when fully open for best flavor and aroma. Dry flowers in a single layer in a warm, airy location. Self-sows freely — allow some flowers to go to seed for next year’s crop.
