Herb Chamomile Seeds

Add delicate flowers and sweet herbal fragrance to your garden with chamomile seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Chamomile's small, daisy-like blooms pair white petals with golden centers above finely textured foliage. Grow it in an herb bed, cottage garden or well-drained container and enjoy harvesting flowers for traditional herbal preparations.

Why Grow Chamomile?

• Aromatic flowers: Freshly gathered blooms bring a gentle, apple-like fragrance to the herb garden.
• Traditional herbal tea: Properly identified, clean flowers can be used fresh or dried for a fragrant infusion.
• Delicate garden texture: Fine foliage and small flowers complement other herbs and flowering plants without needing oversized blooms to make an impression.

Planting and Growing Tips

• Check your variety: Chamomile types differ in growth habit and life cycle. Follow the selected packet's timing, spacing and variety-specific instructions rather than assuming every chamomile grows the same way.
• Handle tiny seeds carefully: Sow on finely prepared soil or seed-starting mix. Press gently into the surface and avoid deep burial; follow packet directions for covering.
• Maintain gentle moisture: Mist or water carefully so seeds are not washed away. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination without leaving it waterlogged.
• Provide light and drainage: Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Some afternoon shade can help in hot climates. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
• Establish seedlings gradually: Thin to the recommended spacing and harden indoor-started plants off before transplanting. Water during establishment and dry spells, adjusting to your soil and weather.
• Manage reseeding: Remove unwanted spent flowers before seed matures if you want to limit volunteer seedlings.

Harvesting and Drying Flowers

• Gather open blooms: Pick healthy flower heads after surface moisture has dried. Harvest regularly as new flowers open, leaving enough growth for the plant to continue developing.
• Dry with good airflow: Spread flower heads in a thin layer in a clean, dry, shaded place with ventilation. Let them dry completely before storage to reduce the risk of mold.
• Store carefully: Keep thoroughly dried flowers in a labeled, airtight container away from heat, light and moisture. Discard any harvest that develops mold or an unusual odor.
• Use clean harvests: Only use correctly identified flowers grown without products unsuitable for edible crops. Packet seeds are for planting, not direct consumption.

Traditional Herbal Uses

Chamomile has a long history of use in herbal infusions. Enjoy it for its fragrance and traditional place in the herb garden rather than as a promised treatment for anxiety, digestive problems or other medical conditions. Chamomile may cause allergic reactions, particularly in people sensitive to ragweed or other daisy-family plants. Ask a qualified healthcare professional before herbal use if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have health concerns.
