About Our Seeds:

- Untreated: Free from any fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides, ensuring a natural and healthy garden.
- Quality Assurance: We conduct regular germination tests to ensure our seeds meet the highest standards.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our seeds are packed in eco-friendly, resealable packets made from recycled materials and printed with vegetable-based ink.
Package Quantity:
- Contains approximately 0.2g or at least 150 seeds, providing ample supply for creating a lush chamomile patch.
Growing Instructions Included: Each packet comes with detailed instructions for indoor and outdoor sowing. Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date by pressing them into the soil without covering, as light is necessary for germination. After seedlings have emerged, transplant them outdoors when the soil is workable or directly sow seeds after the last frost to establish your Roman Chamomile garden.
Planting Tips:
- Location: Choose a spot with full sun to light shade.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Spacing: Allow space for the plants to spread and fill in the area, creating a full, lush ground cover.
- Soil requirements: Chamomile prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a pH level between 5.6 and 7.5. It thrives in soil that is not overly rich in nutrients.
- Sunlight needs: Chamomile requires full sun to partial shade. It grows best with at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Chamomile needs moderate watering. Water the plants regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant chamomile seeds is in the spring after the last frost, or in the fall in milder climates.
- Depth and spacing: Sow chamomile seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds with soil as they need light to germinate. Space the seeds about 6-8 inches apart.
- Germination time: Chamomile seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Chamomile plants usually reach maturity and are ready for harvest in about 60-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest chamomile flowers is in the early morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Use scissors or garden shears to snip the flowers just below the base. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Dry the flowers in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and store them in an airtight container.
