Frequently Asked Questions
Discover helpful answers about German Chamomile seed sowing, flowering, and harvesting.
Should German Chamomile seeds be covered with soil when planting?
German Chamomile seeds are very small and benefit from exposure to light during germination. Scatter them on the surface of moist, well-drained soil and press them gently into place. If necessary, use only a very thin covering of fine growing medium, and keep the surface moist until seedlings appear.
When should German Chamomile flowers be harvested for tea?
Harvest German Chamomile flower heads when the white petals are open and the yellow centers are prominent. Pick them after the morning dew has dried, preferably in dry weather. Dry the flowers completely in a clean, well-ventilated area before storing them in an airtight container. Use only correctly identified plants grown without unsuitable chemical treatments.
Can German Chamomile grow in warm climates and Indian gardens?
German Chamomile can be grown in suitable Indian climates, particularly during cooler growing periods. Choose a location with good sunlight, well-drained soil, and moderate moisture. In hot regions, sowing during the cooler season and providing some afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress and support flowering.
