Planting Instructions:
After the danger of frost, sow Chamomile seeds in prepared soil that is well-drained, neutral to slightly 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 a 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 the 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 plants. 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.
