Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Chamomile seeds are small and are often surface-sown because they need light to germinate. Gently press them onto the growing medium and follow the seed supplier's instructions for the specific variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about chamomile varieties, flower harvesting, and the best way to start chamomile seeds.
What is the difference between German chamomile and Roman chamomile?
German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is generally an annual herb that grows upright and produces many flower heads. Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is a perennial, often lower-growing plant that can form a spreading ground cover. Both are known for their daisy-like flowers, but their growth habits and cultivation requirements differ.
When should chamomile flowers be harvested for drying?
If the variety is suitable for herbal use, harvest flower heads when they are fully open and dry, after morning dew has evaporated. Choose clean flowers from plants grown without unsuitable chemical treatments. Dry them thoroughly in a clean, well-ventilated area and store them in an airtight container only after they are completely dry.
Do chamomile seeds need light to germinate?
Chamomile seeds are commonly surface-sown because light can help germination. Gently press the tiny seeds onto moist growing medium rather than covering them deeply. Maintain suitable moisture and temperature, and follow the instructions supplied for your particular chamomile species and seed lot.
