Matricaria, German Chamomile Organic Heirloom

Description

This easy-to-grow herb features a profusion of apple-scented flowers shaped like tiny daisies. Chamomile flowers make a relaxing herbal tea, and the entire plant can be used for an attractive border. A good choice for containers and hanging baskets.

Chamomile will flourish in almost any soil with full sun to part shade. Plant in early spring, or winter in mild climates. Smooth top of soil and scatter tiny seeds thinly over the surface. Water gently and keep evenly moist until tiny seedlings sprout. Harvest flowers as they open. Use fresh or dry for later use.

Botanical Name: Matricaria recutita
