Roman Chamomile Herb Garden Seeds

Germinated in about a week just as the package said. It's astonishing how tiny these seeds are and how many are in a small packet!! I'm also attaching a photo of the seeds (divided into 4 mayonnaise jar lids) to give you an idea. They're pretty hard to sow because they're so small. We're going for a chamomile "lawn" so we direct-sowed and covered with a thin layer of coco coir (peat moss is recommended but PM is an environmental catastrophe). If you're trying that too, I might recommend sowing in flats and then transplanting to better control spacing. Now we'll see how the seedlings survive two rambunctious beagles!

I was very frustrated trying to get these to germinate. It wasn't until July that I had some actual plants, but once they started, they kept blooming through multiple weekly harvests through August and September. (I pulled off the flower-heads by combing the plants with my fingers. Other varieties I've grown only gave a couple of harvests. I'm drying the flowers in mesh bags hanging around the house and it smells fantastic, and the tea is very nice. To my amusement, it has re-seeded and new plants have started growing at the end of the season. Too bad it won't over-winter but I'm hopeful next spring it will volunteer.

My seeds also were NOT AS ADVERTISED! THIS IS A SCAM!Plants grew well under my care but produced flowers without white petals whichis pineapple weed, not Roman or German chamomile, a roadside weed.After contacting OUTSIDEPRIDE numerous times and sending photos, I have received ZERO response

I did research on different types of chamomile to plant. We have a field of yucky weeds that we mow. I put all the seeds in a small tub & walked all over the field. Our soil is either mushy mud or hard as a brick. Luckily, I it rained a lot & when I scattered the seeds, they fell in between the weeds. My goal is to have the chamomile take over the weeds & have a field of sweet chamomile drifting around as I walk. Ten days after planting, the seeds ARE GROWING! MMMM...I can only imagine, as I write, that in a few months, we'll be drinking chamomile tea, too!! An added plus!

Haven’t seen much results

The seeds sprouted in the fall even though they were planted in March.

UPDATE 8-7-17 Raised from 4 to 5 stars. These have filled in nicely among the weeds and my Yarrow. I keep large weeds pulled and the plants are fine. They bloom about mid-July here in Massachusetts along with the Yarrow. Heavy rain will bring them down but they stand up ok but not perfect when dry. Not as profuse a bloom as I had hoped but pretty nevertheless. I don't feed them or water except in extreme heat with little rain. They spread gently and are easily controlled. Too tall in my yard for a walk-on ground cover. More than 12".Update, 4-24-16: I have 9 plants now. They grow to about 9 inches. Flowers last year were few. Hopefully will be fuller this year. Slow to establish. Keep weeded.These seeds germinated beautifully. About 2 inches tall now. Found out this can be used for a low traffic, fragrant lawn which seldom needs mowing. I'll be broadcasting it everywhere as it does not need to be covered with soil to germinate. Just mix seed with a filler such as sand, scatter by hand or with a small mechanical device if you're fussy about even coverage and tamp lightly with your feet or a lawn seed roller. Lightly mist often so as not to disturb the seed with too much water or heavy drops from a sprinkler. Maybe lightly cover with peat moss or hay if you're concerned about heavy rain. Germinates in less than a week (for me indoors). Excellent price for this quantity of seed!

All the seeds germinated quickly.
