Simple growing and care

Growing chamomile is remarkably simple. Sow from March to April directly in place or in pots, in a light, well-drained compost. The seeds germinate in 10 to 15 days at a temperature of 15-20°C. Chamomile likes a sunny to partly shaded position and copes with ordinary soils, even chalky ones.

Care comes down to moderate, regular watering, without waterlogging. The first picking comes 8 to 10 weeks after sowing. Pick the flowers in the morning once the dew has gone, preferably before they open fully, to preserve their concentration of active compounds. Chamomile self-seeds naturally, ensuring a continuous crop year after year.
