HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In short growing seasons, chamomile can be started inside; start the seeds in a flat 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost date, and transplant them after the last frost. This herb prefers full sun or partial shade in sandy or well drained soil. For direct sowing, plant the seeds 1/4" deep in rows 18" apart, thinning to 6-8" apart as soon as the seedlings appear. Germination should take place within 1-2 weeks. German Chamomile also grows well as a container plant.
Growing: Chamomile prefers cool temperatures and can tolerate light frost. Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are still developing, and control weeds to promote the plants' strong growth.
Harvesting: Harvest chamomile as needed as soon as it reaches a desirable size. For the best flavored tea, harvest the chamomile flower heads in the morning as soon as they open. Spread them out to dry for about 2 weeks in a very dry, warm place out of direct sunlight. Store the flower heads in an airtight container.
Seed Saving: Chamomile easily reseeds itself, but the seed can easily be collected. Remove the flower heads when they dry up on the stem; spread them out to finish drying in a protected location out of direct sunlight. Thresh the heads to remove the seed, and store it in a cool dry place for 3-4 years.

Best price on bulk seeds
I recently purchased organic German chamomile seeds in bulk from Everwilde farms. After searching the web I realized Everwilde farms had the best price by far so I placed my order and received them in very short order. I will definitely be using Everwilde in the future.
Lovely Chamomile
Beautiful, fragrant and tasty Chamomile! Very happy with all Everwilde seeds. They have a high germination rate, and grow well for me. The seed packs always arrive on time. No complaints.
