Lull yourself into dreamland with this mellow medicinal.
This classic German variety of chamomile is perfect for making your own fresh tea. A short plant, 1 to 2’ fall, it bears countless little flowers that are aromatic and benefit everything around - pollinators, plants, and humans alike! Harvest when flowers are bright white and yellow. Fresh flowers can be dried and stored for winter beverages. Will readily self-sow.
Seeds grown by Winnower Farm in Dry Creek Valley, Idaho, and Affinity Farm in Moscow, Idaho.
500 seeds
Directions: Direct sow on soil surface (or transplant from greenhouse - plant when seedlings are small) just before last frost. Thin to 12” between plants all directions.
