Chamomile seeds — apple-scented flowers for tea and calm

Chamomile is the gentle herb of the tea cup and the scented lawn — dainty white daisy flowers with an apple-like fragrance, long used for soothing herbal teas. German chamomile is gathered under Matricaria chamomilla within our aromatic herb range. New to herbs? Our herb growing guide covers the basics.

Chamomile is easy from a spring sowing — the herb calendar shows when.

Tea, lawns and pollinators

Annual German chamomile is grown for its tea flowers; the perennial Roman type makes fragrant, low chamomile lawns and seats. Either way the nectar-rich daisies are excellent for bees and hoverflies, so chamomile sits happily among our pollinator plants too.

Growing chamomile from seed

Sow on the surface in spring, as the fine seed needs light to germinate, and grow on in full sun and free-draining soil. Pick the flowers as they open to dry for tea, and the plants will often self-seed for next year.
