German - Organic Chamomile Seeds

Start seed indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Press seeds gently into the soil surface and do not cover, as they require light to germinate. For indoor sowing, optimum germination occurs with alternating temperatures of 68–86°F. Transplant outdoors after your average last frost date while seedlings are small. Or, direct sow in early spring as soon as soil can be worked, thinning to groups of 2–3 plants every 8”. Chamomile self-sows readily. Harvest flowers when blooms are freshly open, and dry on a screen in a cool, dark, ventilated area.
