100 Seeds German Chamomile Matricaria recutita Fragrant Herb

German chamomile is a cool-season annual herb grown for its small daisy-like flowers with a sweet, apple-like fragrance. It is a classic garden and container plant that attracts pollinators and adds a soft, cottage-garden look to borders and herb beds. Seeds are tiny and easy to sow directly, making this a rewarding variety for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

The flowers are commonly used to make a gentle herbal tea when steeped in hot water, and they can also be added to baths, potpourri, and dried floral crafts. Plants grow upright with finely divided, ferny foliage and bloom over a long season when given consistent moisture and full sun. For best results, sow seeds shallowly in well-draining soil and keep the surface moist until germination.
