Chamomile Planting and Care Guide

Quick Facts About Chamomile

Chamomile is a lovey addition to any garden, and in addition to its loveliness is the herbal quality - especially for tea. German Chamomile is known for its calming and relaxing qualities, and Roman Chamomile creates lush, flowering ground cover.

Planting Time

Chamomile seeds can be started directly outside in the spring. The seeds can tolerate some cold temperatures, so planting before the last frost is fine. Some recommend a late fall sowing once the ground is cold, but the seeds are very small and can easily get washed away by heavy rains.

Planting Location

Chamomile prefers full sun and rich, moist soil. In hotter climates, partial shade is good.

How to Plant Chamomile

  • Work the garden soil several inches deep
  • Add compost and work it in to improve the soil and add nutrients
  • Sow the Chamomile seeds directly on the surface and press into the soil but do not cover
  • Thin seedlings to 2 - 4 inches apart

Care And Maintenance

  • Chamomile flowers can be harvested and used fresh or dried
  • Leaves can be harvested as well
  • The Chamomile flowers will self-sow, so deadhead and keep them trimmed back if that is not desired

How Much Seed Do I Need?

1. Measure

For Squares or Rectangles: measure the length and width of the space where you want to plant. 

For Circles: find the radius - measure the widest part of your planting space and divide by 2.

2. Calculate Square Footage

Square Foot Calculations

For Squares or Rectangles:  length (in feet)  x  width (in feet) = square feet

For example, a garden that measures 50 feet x 30 feet = 1500 sq. ft.

For Circles:   radius (in feet) x  radius  x 3.14 = square feet

For example, a circular garden that is 20 feet across has a radius of 10 feet. 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.

(The mathematical formula for the area of a circle is Π · r2 - the Π symbol is pronounced Pi and represents approximately 3.142, and r2 stands for radius squared.)

3. Find How Much Seed You Need

The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. We typically recommend planting on the higher side for a lush meadow. Plant on the lower side for a more scattered look. 

For Individual Species: The recommended rates vary greatly from species to species. Check the product page, or contact us with questions.

For Wildflower Mixes: Reference the table below.

This Much Seed Covers... This Much Square Footage
1/4 lb 250 - 500 sq. ft.
1/2 lb 500 - 1,000 sq. ft.
1 lb 1,000 - 2,000 sq. ft.
5 lbs 5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft.
10 lbs 10,000 - 25,000 sq. ft.
Acreage
  • 1 Acre = 43,000 sq.ft.
  • 1/2 Acre = 21,500 sq. ft.
  • 1/4 Acre = 10,750 sq.ft.
  • 1/10 Acre = 4,300 sq. ft.

Tips For Larger Plantings: If you have a large site, from 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by land conditions. If you have heavy weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other land problems, additional seed is usually the most economical solution, since installation of a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site does have these problems and you want full coverage, use 1 pound per 1000 sq. ft.
