Description
German Chamomile is one of the most beloved and universally soothing herbs in the world — the classic tea herb whose delicate, daisy-like flowers carry a sweet, apple-like fragrance that’s been used for centuries to calm, comfort, and restore. USDA-Certified Organic, generous in bloom, and easy to grow in full sun or partial shade across a wide range of conditions, it arrives potted in quality soil and ready to plant. Harvest the flowers as they open and dry them for year-round use in teas, infused oils, and natural remedies.
The Classic Chamomile Tea Herb — Sweet, Fragrant, and Therapeutic
German Chamomile’s small, daisy-like white and yellow flowers carry a distinctive sweet, apple-like fragrance that makes them as enjoyable to grow and harvest as they are to brew. A single cup of chamomile tea made from fresh-dried flowers from your own organic plants delivers a quality and freshness that no commercial tea bag can match. The flowers are traditionally valued for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-allergenic, and sedative properties — a genuinely multifaceted medicinal herb with centuries of documented traditional use.
USDA-Certified Organic — Ready to Plant
Every Stark Bro’s German Chamomile arrives USDA-Certified Organic, potted in quality soil, and ready to plant. Harvest flowers as soon as they bloom — gently pull the petals from the flower head and dry them for teas, oils, and other preparations. The more you harvest, the more the plant produces throughout the season.
A Generous Self-Seeding Annual
German Chamomile is an annual that self-seeds prolifically in most garden conditions — meaning once you establish it, it often returns on its own year after year without replanting. The bushy, upright plants grow to a manageable size, tolerate partial shade, and adapt to a wide range of soil types and pH levels from 5.6 to 7.5, making them flexible additions to herb beds, containers, and garden borders.
