    Heavenly fragrance (and taste!)

    In the cold, dark tunnel of late winter, I can’t overstate the joy these flowers bring me. Like Victoria commented, I harvested them all summer and dried them for tea. The scent is so sweet and calming, and I loved watching the bees and bugs bounce on their bright bellies. I started them indoors (4b) because I was nervous rain would wash them away, and they were very happy transplants. Thank you!

    The best chamomile variety for tea

    Victoria Atanassova (verified owner)

    Having grown up with chamomile tea in Europe, I was so happy to find this variety so I can grow the seeds myself. They were easy to germinate. I kept picking flowers all summer long, picking and drying for tea. The more I picked, the more they bloomed. They were really fragrant and by far much better than what you can buy in the store. Low maintenance, and looked really pretty too.

    I can't get over how well they germinated!

    These are hands down the best Chamomile seeds I’ve EVER planted. They had at LEAST a 90% or higher germination rate (honestly there’s too many to count lol) and they all sprouted in less than 3 days!!! This is the only place I’ll be buying my Chamomile from going forward!

    zone 5 sucess

    I’m in northern New Hampshire and was unsure when to start these babies. I sowed them the last week of April and within 8 days looks like close to 100% germination.. very happy. I surface sowed and kept moist, we still may have a frost and I hope the plants will be okay?? They’re in a seedling tray at the moment, should I bring them inside if we have a frost in the forecast?

    Happy Spring 🙂

    friends who planted starter plants from this seed (SMS) stock and used in tea, reported, “we felt so amazing” right before bedtime, after a long day of bicycle trekking.
