This isn't just a pretty flower; it is a powerhouse of calming, digestive, and toning properties that thrives with minimal effort, giving you 100% organic flowers superior to any tea bag you buy at the supermarket.

Why you need to start growing your own Camomile

Many growers focus solely on their main crop and forget the importance of biodiversity, or they simply rely on store-bought dried herbs that have lost most of their terpenes and properties months ago. You might feel like setting up an aromatic corner is complicated or takes away space and energy from your main plants, leaving you with an incomplete garden and relying on low-quality commercial infusions.

If you don't integrate plants like camomile, you are missing out on a double benefit: a potent natural medicine cabinet and a biological ally that attracts pollinators and beneficial insects to your grow space. Continuing to buy industrial camomile means consuming product with less flavor and efficacy.

The solution is simple: these Camomile Seeds allow you to establish a robust, self-sufficient crop in record time. By following a clear, phase-based process, you will turn a small corner of your terrace or garden into a production center for top-tier aromatic flowers, improving both your health and your garden's ecosystem.

Phase 1: Preparing the ground

Before you start throwing seeds around, you need to prepare the environment. Camomile is tough, but it loves a specific setup to explode with flowers. It prefers temperate climates and plenty of light.

• Choose the location: It needs full sun to produce essential oils, though it tolerates semi-shade in very hot summers.
• Select the container: Since it can be invasive, it is smart to use Indoor and Outdoor Planters to keep its root system under control if you have limited space.
• Substrate check: Ensure the soil drains well. It prefers a neutral to slightly acidic pH. If your soil is too clay-heavy, mix in some perlite.
• Timing: The ideal time is Spring, when the risk of frost has passed.

Phase 2: Setting up the product

Sowing camomile is delicate because the seeds are tiny. If you bury them too deep, they won't have the energy to reach the surface. Here is how to do it right.

1. Prepare the soil surface: Rake the soil or substrate until it is fine and level, breaking up any large clumps.
2. Sowing: Scatter the seeds on the surface. Do not bury them.
3. Pressing: Gently press the seeds into the soil with your hand or a flat board so they make contact, but again, do not cover them with a thick layer of earth.
4. Initial watering: Use a sprayer to mist water. A heavy stream will wash the seeds away. Keep the soil moist (not soaked) until germination.

Phase 3: Use / growing step by step

Once they sprout, the process is very straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a bumper harvest of flowers.

1. Germination: You should see sprouts in about 10–14 days.
2. Thinning: If you sowed directly into the ground and they are too crowded, remove the weaker seedlings to leave about 25 cm between plants.
3. Irrigation: Keep the watering moderate. Camomile hates waterlogging. Let the soil dry out slightly between waterings once the plants are established.
4. Weeding: Keep the area free of other aggressive weeds during the first few weeks.
5. Flowering: In about 60 days, you will see the white flowers with yellow centers appear.
6. Pest watch: It usually repels pests, but keep an eye out for aphids. Usually, it attracts ladybugs which is great for your other Vegetable Garden Seeds.

Phase 4: Closing, maintenance and learnings

When the flowers are fully open, it is harvest time. Don't wait until the petals start to fall. Cut the flower heads, preferably in the morning after the dew has dried but before the sun is at its peak, to preserve the essential oils.

To save them for the whole year, you need to dry them properly. You can use the same techniques and equipment used for Harvesting and Drying Marijuana, ensuring a dark, dry, and ventilated place. Once dry, store them in airtight glass jars. If you leave some flowers on the plant, they will drop seeds, and you will likely have new camomile plants next year without doing anything.

Advantages of following this flow instead of improvising

• Higher Germination Rate: By not burying the seeds deep (a common mistake), you ensure success.
• Potency: Harvesting at the right time guarantees maximum medicinal effect.
• Control: Using pots prevents it from taking over your entire garden.
• Self-sufficiency: You stop relying on industrial tea bags with unknown origins.
• Ecosystem Boost: You consciously use it to attract beneficial insects to your grow area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to harvest camomile?

From sowing to harvest, it typically takes about 60 days (2 months). It is a fast cycle, perfect for spring and early summer.

Can I grow it indoors?

Yes, as long as you place it near a very sunny window or use grow lights. However, it thrives best outdoors with direct sunlight.

What part of the plant is used?

The flower heads are the main prize. That is where the essential oils, bisabolol, and chamazulene (responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects) are concentrated.

Is it compatible with cannabis plants?

Absolutely. Many growers use it as a companion plant because it is believed to increase the essential oil production of neighboring plants and attract beneficial insects that eat pests.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I always keep a few pots of camomile around the perimeter of my outdoor grow. Honestly, at first, I just did it because my grandmother told me it was good for the "energy" of the garden, but I quickly realized its practical value. It's a magnet for hoverflies and ladybugs, which keeps the aphids off my main girls.

My biggest mistake early on was burying the seeds like they were beans—nothing came up. Once I learned to just press them into the surface and mist them, I had more camomile than I knew what to do with. Now, there is nothing better than a tea made from my own dried flowers after a long day of trimming or working in the warehouse. The flavor difference compared to store-bought is night and day.
