FAQ about Chamomile – Classic

What kind of soil suits chamomile best?
Chamomile thrives in a sunny spot in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. The soil does not need to be particularly fertile, as too much feeding gives lush leaves but fewer flowers. Avoid compacted, wet clay.
How often should chamomile be watered?
Chamomile needs moderate watering, especially while it establishes. Water deeply and let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Once established, the plant is fairly drought-tolerant.
When should chamomile flowers be harvested?
Harvest the flowers when they are fully open, ideally on a dry morning. Regular picking encourages more flowers. Dry them in a thin layer somewhere airy and shaded, and store them in an airtight jar for tea.
Which pests and diseases can affect chamomile?
Chamomile is generally very trouble-free. Aphids may appear but are rarely a big problem, and powdery mildew can occur in overly damp conditions. Good air circulation prevents most problems.
Can chamomile be overwintered?
German chamomile is an annual and dies after flowering, so it is not overwintered. Let some flowers set seed to self-sow, or collect seed to sow in spring. Sow on the surface of the soil, as the seeds need light to germinate.
