Roman Chamomile - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
About 10–14 days.
SOWING:
Starting transplants is recommended. Press the seed into the mix or cover it only very lightly, since it needs light to germinate. Plant out in spring once the soil has warmed to at least 45°F (7°C), 8–12" apart in rows 24" apart. To sow outdoors, plant shallowly at 2–3 seeds per inch, again because light aids germination, then thin to groups of 2–3 plants every 12".
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun to partial shade.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Well-drained garden soil, slightly acidic to neutral.
PLANT HEIGHT:
10-16".
PLANT SPACING:
8–12" apart.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Hardy in Zones 5–8.
HARVEST:
Collect leaves and flowers at full bloom. Use them fresh, or dry them in an airy place out of direct sun, stirring every so often over several days.
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Chamaemelum nobile
