About German Chamomile

German chamomile is the most widely used medicinal herb in the world — the apple-scented flowers dry easily for calming teas. Extremely easy to grow; self-seeds prolifically once established.

Surface sow directly — seeds need light to germinate, do not cover. Self-seeds freely so you only plant once. Harvest flowers when petals are fully open. Dry in a single layer for tea. Note: avoid if allergic to ragweed.
