Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start Chamomile seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Chamomile seeds, plant them about 1/8 inch deep in well-drained, slightly sandy soil, spacing them 8–10 inches apart to give them enough room to grow.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest chamomile flowers, wait until the plants are in full bloom. Choose a dry and sunny day to harvest, preferably in the morning. Gently pluck the flowers, including the stem, and collect them in a basket or container. You can use fresh chamomile immediately or dry the flowers for future use by spreading them in a well-ventilated area.
