Growing Chamomile German from Seeds:
1. USDA Hardiness Zones: Chamomile German can be grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9.

2. Seed Selection: Choose high-quality Chamomile German seeds from our web store, www.ezyseeds.com. Look for seeds with good germination rates and reputable sources.

3. Germination: Chamomile German seeds require light for germination, so do not cover them with soil. Sow the seeds directly on the prepared soil surface.

4. Sowing Seeds: Sow the seeds in early spring or late summer when the soil temperature is around 60-70°F (15-21°C). Ensure the planting area receives full to partial sunlight.

5. Stratification (optional): Some gardeners prefer to stratify Chamomile German seeds before planting. To stratify, place the seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2-3 weeks. This process can help improve germination rates.

6. Moisture and Cover: Keep the soil surface consistently moist until the seeds germinate. You can lightly mist the soil or use a watering can with a gentle spray to avoid displacing the seeds.

7. Temperature and Light: Chamomile German thrives in cool to mild temperatures. Aim for temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C) during the growing season. The plants prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

8. Watering: Water the plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Chamomile German prefers slightly moist conditions.

9. Transplanting (optional): If you started the seeds indoors, you can transplant the seedlings into the garden after the last frost date. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before planting.

10. Preparing the Soil: Chamomile German prefers well-draining soil. Before planting, remove any weeds and incorporate organic matter, such as compost, into the soil.

11. Planting: Gently transplant the Chamomile German seedlings into the prepared soil, spacing them about 6-12 inches apart. Avoid disturbing the roots during transplanting.

12. Watering and Mulching: After planting, water the seedlings thoroughly. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

13. Care and Maintenance: Chamomile German is generally low-maintenance. Monitor the plants for pests and diseases, and remove any weeds that may compete with the plants for nutrients.

14. Pruning Runner: Chamomile German does not require pruning for growth or flower production. However, you can deadhead the spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.

15. Fertilization: Chamomile German generally does not require heavy fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced organic fertilizer once or twice during the growing season to support healthy growth.

16. Harvesting:

Harvest the Chamomile German flowers when they are fully open and at their peak fragrance. Gently pluck the flowers from the plant and allow them to dry in a well-ventilated area. Store the dried flowers in a cool, dry place for later use.
