German Chamomile

Germinated well and produced a heap of flowers, which I dried for tea.

German Chamomile

Cute flowers around the garden, I just sprinkled in my garden beds. The flower grew beautifully. Didn't have the chance to dry for tea but will certainly do it next time.

Good germination

Very quick and easy to grow. You gets lots of flowers per bush. Easy to dry for tea. Regular plant in my garden.
Jessica V 18 February 2019

Love it

Easy to germinate and grow. I enjoyed teas from this seed last year. But unfortunately I didnt know much how to grow. Plant one seedling in one big pot about 30cm diameter.
