Started my chamomile seeds back in january under grow light...i sprinkled 10-20 seeds per cell in a 72 cell tray...in years past i never got a single seed to germinate...i got nearly 100 germination this year...thinned it to 2 plants per cell. Ended up planting 12 cells to a resin "barrel" pot...it's now overgrowing my garden... 😊 still no flowers yet though 🙃

It's also worth knowing is that chamomile "tea" (water infusion) has mildly anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and sedative effects (hence its long historical use as a medicinal plant). Drinking the tea can help (a bit, yet not enough to replace actual medication when that's deemed necessary) with sleep disorders, anxiety, various types of chronic inflammatory pain (like rheumatism) and some GI tract disorders. Chamomile extracts can also be applied topically (on contact) for sunburn, various ear, nose and throat sores, red eye and even to clean superficial wounds in a pinch (it's not as good as a medical antiseptic, but definitely better than nothing). Concentrated infusion is also widely used as mouth wash for people with dental problems.

@PNW_ana 5 месяцев назад

You can give your plants a quick rinse before drying. To make tea all you need to do is dry out the flowers. I use 3 tbsp or so of dried flower per 6oz - that is pretty strong, so play around with amounts.

I live in zone 5B, southwest Michigan, across the lake from Chicago. I discovered that my chamomile thrives when I crush several flower heads that were left on the plant too long, doing this at some point later in the summer (August or September). Tiny baby plants emerge in the fall, and then by the next spring, my bed is filled with wonderfully strong plants in spite of our harsh winters. Right now (2 weeks before last frost date), my plants are already 6” tall, and they’ve easily survived several frosts this past week.

It’s too bad common names are so frequently used as it causes a lot of confusion. ‘Scentless Camomile’ (Tripleurospermum inodorum) is a listed noxious weed in Alberta and came from Europe as an ornamental flower. Looks and acts so similar to the Germanic Camomile (Matricaria chamomilla ) shown here so please home gardeners, be diligent in what you plant and be a responsible gardener. The wrong choices can have a devastating impact on the natural environment.
