German Chamomile Herb Growing Habits

Non-GMO (Matricaria chamomilla) German Chamomile plants grow as upright spreading annual herbs, reaching 1-2" tall during the warmer season. Your sweet aromatic chamomile crop will easily reseed itself, even as an annual herb. Once late spring sets in, your German Chamomile Herbs will produce white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. As soon as the small flowers open up, they will be ready for harvest. Once the floral-scented heads of German Chamomile begin to bend backward, they will be fully mature, before going to seed.
