Growing
German chamomile prefers a sunny location with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It is frost-hardy and requires moderate watering, especially during dry periods. Sowing is done directly outdoors or as a pre-culture, with the seeds needing light to germinate. Regular weeding promotes growth, and the flowers are harvested when fully open.
