We love processing chamomile as the sweet scent of its flower are amazing. Plants will grow to 30cm (12") wide and up to 60cm (24") tall. They will self-sow seeds for the next season so be careful not to harvest the entire amount and allow some seeds to drop. Wonderful for teas and many other uses.
30 Days to Harvest!
9600 seeds/gram Sow seed directly outdoors in a sunny site with average soil in mid to late May - do not cover the seed. Seed can also be started indoors in a soil-less mix 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Keep temperature at 21C (70F) for the 7-10 day germination period, then grow on at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Sow seed 3mm (1/8") deep and 2.5cm (1") apart then thin to 15cm (6") apart in the garden. Prefers well drained to sandy soils in full sun.
