Chamomile Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The sweet apple-scented herb worth a spot in your garden

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a fast, easy annual herb grown for its small daisy-like flowers with a sweet, apple-like fragrance. German chamomile is the classic tea variety, sending up airy, feathery foliage topped with countless white-petaled, golden-centered blooms from early summer on. It is one of the prettiest herbs you can grow, beloved by bees and gardeners alike, and a handful of plants will give you enough flowers to dry for tea all season.

How to grow chamomile from seed

Chamomile is one of the easiest herbs to start from seed. Surface-sow the tiny seeds and press them into a sunny, well-drained bed once the soil has warmed, pressing lightly since they need light to germinate, then thin seedlings to stand about 8 inches apart. Plants grow roughly 18 to 24 inches tall and begin flowering in about 6 to 10 weeks, blooming right through summer. Chamomile self-sows readily, so it often returns on its own. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing chamomile from seed.

How to use chamomile

The flowers are the prize. Harvest the blooms when the petals are fully open, then dry them for the classic, honey-sweet herbal tea traditionally brewed to unwind at the end of the day. Fresh or dried flowers also lend their gentle apple aroma to infused honeys, baths, and homemade skin rinses. In the garden, chamomile is a favorite companion plant and a magnet for beneficial pollinators.

Chamomile and its herb-garden companions

If you love chamomile, you will enjoy its fellow tea and calming herbs. Try lemon balm for a bright, lemony infusion, mint for a refreshing pairing, or lavender for another fragrant, pollinator-friendly bloom. You can explore the full range in our herb seeds collection.
