Description

German Chamomile Seeds are the perfect addition to your garden for both relaxation and beauty. Grow your own soothing chamomile tea with flowers fresh from your garden, or dry the flowers to use in floral arrangements, crafts, and wreaths. The edible petals also add a subtle flavor to salads. Chamomile not only attracts beneficial insects and pollinators, but it also thrives in full sun, making it an excellent choice for containers or garden beds. Its apple-scented, white, daisy-like flowers bloom from late spring to summer, offering both visual appeal and practical uses.
