Classic Herbal Remedy with Gentle Blooms and Garden Charm

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), also known as German Chamomile, is a beloved flowering medicinal herb cherished for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and digestive-soothing properties. The dainty white and yellow daisy-like flowers are harvested for teas, oils, and salves that promote relaxation, sleep, and skin healing—making it a staple in every apothecary garden.

Chamomile is easy to grow and highly productive, thriving in sunny spots with well-drained soil. It reseeds easily and attracts pollinators like bees and beneficial insects, while adding beauty and purpose to herb spirals, garden borders, raised beds, and containers. This annual herb grows fast, blooms heavily, and brings both calm and cheer to your garden.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Produces fragrant, daisy-like blooms used in calming teas
  • Supports digestion, sleep, skin, and stress relief
  • Easy to grow and quick to flower—perfect for any garden
  • Attracts pollinators and beneficial insects
  • Reseeds readily for year-after-year garden joy

Growing Tips:

  • Plant in full sun with well-drained soil; thrives in raised beds or pots
  • Water regularly but avoid overwatering—chamomile likes it on the drier side
  • Harvest flowers just after they fully open, in the morning, for best flavor and potency
  • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers
  • Allow some plants to go to seed for easy self-sowing next season
