Chamomile is a plant with a long history of use for its medicinal properties and relaxing effects.
By sowing these seeds, you can grow your own beautiful chamomile flowers that spread their lovely scent and give you a peaceful moment in the garden.

Chamomile's small white flowers with yellow centers are not only beautiful to look at, but also have a distinctive mild and soothing scent.
They can be used to make delicious chamomile tea that helps promote relaxation and calmness in the body and mind. Health tea brewed from the flower basket of chamomile is thought to be anti-inflammatory and improve appetite.

By growing your own chamomile plants, you will always have access to fresh flowers to make your own nutritious tea.

Growing chamomile is easy and does not require much space. Plant the seeds in well-drained soil and place them in a sunny spot. You can grow chamomile in a garden bed, pot or even in a flower box on the balcony. With regular watering and a little love, you will soon see the little green plants grow and flourish.

Let chamomile become part of your garden and create a peaceful oasis where you can enjoy its natural beauty and therapeutic properties. Take a break from everyday stress and enjoy a cup of chamomile tea made from your own flowers.

How to sow chamomile:

1. Prepare the soil: Chamomile thrives best in well-drained soil. Make sure to loosen the soil and remove any weeds or large clumps.


2. Choose the right location: Chamomile prefers to grow in full sun or partial shade. Choose a spot in the garden where the plants get enough light to thrive.


3. Sow the seeds: Take a handful of chamomile seeds and spread them evenly over the prepared soil. You can also mix the seeds with some sand to get a more even spread. Chamomile seeds are small, so make sure not to sow them too deeply. A lightly sprinkled covering of soil or sand over the seeds is sufficient.


4. Water gently: Use a fine spray bottle or a jug with a fine jet to water the seeds gently. The aim is to moisten the soil without washing away the seeds. Keep the soil moist but not soaked throughout the germination process.


5. Post-sowing care: Monitor your chamomile plants and make sure they get enough water and light. Keep the soil moist by watering when necessary, but avoid overwatering which can lead to rot. For the first few weeks, you can also cover the seeds with a thin fiber cloth or growing plastic to help with moisture regulation and protect them from the cold.


6. Thinning out seedlings: Once the seedlings have grown to a height of about 5-10 centimeters, you can thin them out to make room for better growth. Remove weaker plants so that the remaining ones have enough room to thrive.


7. Harvest and enjoy: Chamomile plants usually start flowering within 6-8 weeks after sowing. Once the flowers have opened, you can harvest them to make tea or dry them to use later.
