How to Germinate Chamomile German

How to Germinate Chamomile German (Matricaria chamomilla)

  • Sow Chamomile German seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist by misting it with water to avoid disturbing the seeds.
  • Once seedlings have developed 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 8-12 inches apart.
  • Harden off seedlings for about a week before transplanting to help them adjust to outdoor conditions.

Additional Tips

  • Chamomile German prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged to encourage healthy growth.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
  • Harvest flowers when they are fully open and dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area for later use.
  • Trim the plants after flowering to promote new growth and additional blooming throughout the season.
