• Common German Chamomile produces tiny, daisy-like, apple-scented flowers.
• The variety preferred for making tea.
• As a tea or infusion, chamomile gives a feeling of relaxation and drowsiness, making it an excellent treatment for insomnia or anxiety.
• Because of the herb's antiseptic, anti-inflammatory properties, skin preparations including chamomile benefit conditions such as eczema, rashes, or insect bites.
• The dried flowers and leaves also make a sweet scented addition to sachets or potpourri.
• Sowing:
• In short growing seasons, Chamomile can be started inside, start the seeds in a flat 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost date, and transplant them after the last frost. This herb prefers full sun or partial shade in sandy or well drained soil. For direct sowing, plant the seeds ¼ inch deep in rows 18 inches apart, thinning to 6-8 inches apart as soon as the seedlings appear. Germination should take place within 1-2 weeks. German Chamomile also grows well as a container plant.
• Growing:
• Chamomile prefers cool temperatures and can tolerate tight frost. Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are still developing and control weeds to promote the plants’ strong growth.
• Harvesting:
• Harvested 55 to 65 days after sowing. For the best flavored tea, harvest the chamomile flower heads in the morning as soon as they open. Spread them out to dry for about 2 weeks in a very dry, warm place out of direct sunlight. Store the flower heads in an airtight container.
