Planting Instructions

1. Timing: Sow German Chamomile seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors in early spring after the last frost.
2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil with good organic content. Chamomile prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.
3. Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil without covering, as chamomile seeds need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist.
4. Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade. Chamomile thrives in bright, sunny locations but can tolerate some shade.
5. Spacing: Space plants about 8-12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Growing and Care

• Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Chamomile is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from consistent moisture during the growing season.
• Fertilization: Generally, chamomile does not require heavy fertilization. A light application of compost or a balanced fertilizer in the spring can support growth.
• Pruning: Harvest flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Trim back any leggy growth to maintain a compact shape.
• Pest and Disease Management: Chamomile is relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by aphids or mildew. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.

Harvesting

• Flowers: Harvest chamomile flowers when they are fully open. Cut the flower heads and use them fresh or dry them for later use in teas and other herbal preparations.
