Home: Catalog: Annual: Chamomile, German Improved

Chamomile, German Improved Botanical Name: Matricaria recutita (chamomila) 'Bodegold' Life Cycle: Annual Description/Size: Harvest is easier with larger flowers and, more effective for occasional insomnia, with its higher oil content. Pick whole flowers and dry on horizontal window screens. After 2-3 days, place a tray, under the screen and rub flowers. Only white petals and yellow centers should fall through to the tray. Avoid bitter stem & green caps (although they tend to be a good "digestive"). We make a tea using 2 tsp. dried herb per cup of hot water. Cold Tolerance: Zone 7a 7b 8a 8b Light: Full Sun to Full Sun Height: 1 1/2-2 Feet Water: Normal Soil: Loamy Flowers: Early Summer Price: $2.99 each Popular Varieties | All Varieties
