Chamomile - German

Matricaria chamomilla

German chamomile seeds are a popular choice for home gardeners who want to grow their own soothing and relaxing herbal tea. These seeds produce beautiful, daisy-like flowers that have a sweet, apple-like fragrance and are rich in essential oils. German chamomile tea is known for its calming properties and is a popular beverage for relaxation and stress relief. These seeds have a growing time of around 50-80 days, and require a sunny spot and well-draining soil to thrive. With proper care and attention, your German chamomile plants will provide you with a bountiful crop of fresh, fragrant flowers that can be used for teas, natural remedies, or skincare products.
