German Chamomile Seeds

Looking for a plant that’s not only gorgeous but also offers a wealth of health benefits? Consider adding German Chamomile to your garden! German Chamomile is a delightful annual herb that not only stands out in your garden with its charming white and yellow flowers but also boasts a history of medicinal use that stretches back thousands of years. This herb is a true multitasker, with its dried flowers commonly used to make a soothing tea known for anti-inflammatory and sedative effects. Plus, its oil is a favorite in cosmetics and aromatherapy.

Come early to midsummer, you’ll see about 15 enchanting flower heads per plant, each offering a sweet fragrance reminiscent of apples or pineapples. These blooms are a real treat for honeybees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden. Following the blooms, the plant produces yellowish brown seeds, which can self-seed in your garden if not deadheaded right after the flowers fade.

As a member of the aster or daisy family, German Chamomile is a bushy plant that is as easy to grow as it is useful. It’s not fussy about soil and can even thrive in those not-so-perfect conditions, making it a resilient choice for your garden. Plus, it’s a champ when it comes to resisting deer and handling drought once it’s settled in.
