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.

Survival Guaranteed!

Since 1816, Stark Bro’s has promised to provide customers with the very best fruit trees and plants. It’s just that simple. However, because annual plants are naturally short-lived and complete their life cycle in a single growing season, our standard one-year survival guarantee does not apply to annuals. If your annuals arrive damaged or fail to thrive within the first 14 days after delivery, please contact us immediately so we can make it right. For all other plants, our full one-year warranty still applies. Read more about our warranty policy.
