Description:
Organic Chamomile Herb is a wonderful herb to grow at home. It can be used to make mild teas and contributes to the overall health of your garden. Organic Chamomile seeds from Patriot Seeds are open-pollinated, so you can grow, harvest, and replant Chamomile for years to come. Native to Europe, Africa, and Asia, chamomile has foliage and flowers with such a pleasant fragrance that for centuries these plants have been allowed to self-sow along the edges of paths and walkways where their fragrance can be enjoyed. This herb’s graceful plants are 12-20" tall with endless masses of 1" attractive, daisy-like flowers that can be used to make tea.
Exposure: Full sun
Zone: 2-12
Timing :Sow late March to mid-May either indoors or direct where it is to grow. If starting indoors, be sure to harden seedlings off before they are transplanted. Optimal temperature for germination: 19°C (65°F). Bottom heat speeds germination. Starting Sow seeds 1cm (½”) deep. Keep moist, and thin or transplant to 10-15cm (4-6″) apart. Seeds should sprout in 10-14 days. G
Growing: Chamomile is a fairly adaptable plant, but does best in full sun in well-drained soil. Water well in dry weather, and deadhead thoroughly to prevent self-sowing. Harvest Harvest the small, sweet smelling flowers when they are fully open. Use the petals fresh or dry. The leaves can be gathered in spring to early summer and used fresh or dry. Companion Planting Chamomile attracts hoverflies and wasps. Plant near onions to improve their flavour.
