Yes, German Chamomile is well-suited for containers. Because the plants are relatively compact, they thrive in pots as long as they receive full sun and have adequate drainage.

You can do both. Starting them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost gives you a head start, but they also germinate reliably when sown directly into the garden soil once the ground has warmed in the spring.

Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch. Chamomile seeds require a bit of light to germinate, so be careful not to bury them too deeply in the soil.

Yes, these are open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds. This means you can save the seeds from your harvest to replant in future seasons, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

Harvest the flowers once the petals are fully open and the yellow centers are prominent. For the best flavor and potency, pick them in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day.

German Chamomile is an annual. It will complete its entire life cycle—from germination to flowering and seed production—within a single growing season.
