Chamomile German
Matricaria recutita
German Chamomile produces small daisy-like flowers that can be used in tea or as a medicinal herb.
Harvest your German Chamomile flowers when they are in full bloom; the petals should be horizontal or slightly drooping, and the centers bright and slightly cone-shaped.
German Chamomile likes cool weather and grows best in spring and fall. Plant in an area that receives full sun and has well-drained soil and water once the top of the soil has dried out. Chamomile may self-seed under optimal growing conditions; remove flowers if this is unwanted.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
