Title: Growing chamomile from seed
Post by: WendysLot on May 31, 2020, 10:54

Has anyone grown chamomile successfully before? I sowed mine on 5 May and whilst the seedlings appeared within about 10 days they seem to be very slow growing and are still really tiny.  Just wondered if there is something wrong. Thanks

They look fine.  It is slow to get going but usually does well with almost no care.  It self seeds all over the place, so be careful where you plant it out  :)

Ok thanks, I guess I am just being a little impatient. Was hoping to have flowers in the summer to have with my salads but it seems it may be later in the year. Still, will be able to enjoy my chamomile tea :)
