Who it's for A wonderful choice for beginners and tea lovers. Chamomile is undemanding, quick to flower, and self-sows freely, so a single sowing often keeps going on its own. If you like the idea of picking your own flowers for tea, start here. How & when to plant Sow chamomile seeds directly after your last frost, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier. Scatter the tiny seeds on the surface and do not cover them, since they need light to germinate, then keep the surface lightly moist; seedlings appear in about 7 to 14 days. Grow chamomile in full sun to part shade, spacing plants about 6 to 8 inches apart. See our German Chamomile growing guide for more. Growing & care Chamomile is easygoing and thrives in average, well-drained soil with regular water. It grows quickly and blooms within a couple of months, and if you leave a few flowers at the end of the season, it will happily reseed and return next year. Little care is needed beyond the occasional trim. Harvest Pick the flowers when they are fully open, ideally in the morning, snapping the small heads from their stems. Harvest often to keep more blooms coming, and dry the flowers in a single layer for tea.
