Outsidepride Roman Chamomile Seeds - 50000 Pcs Perennial, Drought Tolerant, Self-Seeding & Versatile, Herb Seeds for Planting Sweet Scented Daisy-Like Blooms, Ideal for Slopes & Pollinator Gardens

I was very frustrated trying to get these to germinate. It wasn't until July that I had some actual plants, but once they started, they kept blooming through multiple weekly harvests through August and September. (I pulled off the flower-heads by combing the plants with my fingers. Other varieties I've grown only gave a couple of harvests. I'm drying the flowers in mesh bags hanging around the house and it smells fantastic, and the tea is very nice. To my amusement, it has re-seeded and new plants have started growing at the end of the season. Too bad it won't over-winter but I'm hopeful next spring it will volunteer.

I did research on different types of chamomile to plant. We have a field of yucky weeds that we mow. I put all the seeds in a small tub & walked all over the field. Our soil is either mushy mud or hard as a brick. Luckily, I it rained a lot & when I scattered the seeds, they fell in between the weeds. My goal is to have the chamomile take over the weeds & have a field of sweet chamomile drifting around as I walk. Ten days after planting, the seeds ARE GROWING! MMMM...I can only imagine, as I write, that in a few months, we'll be drinking chamomile tea, too!! An added plus!

These seed were of horrible quality. Not one plant grew! I planted the whole bag! A few germinated by died right away. I still can’t believe it. I have been a gardener for many years now.

Germinated in about a week just as the package said. It's astonishing how tiny these seeds are and how many are in a small packet!! I'm also attaching a photo of the seeds (divided into 4 mayonnaise jar lids) to give you an idea. They're pretty hard to sow because they're so small. We're going for a chamomile "lawn" so we direct-sowed and covered with a thin layer of coco coir (peat moss is recommended but PM is an environmental catastrophe). If you're trying that too, I might recommend sowing in flats and then transplanting to better control spacing. Now we'll see how the seedlings survive two rambunctious beagles!

Haven’t seen much results

The seeds sprouted in the fall even though they were planted in March.

UPDATE 8-7-17 Raised from 4 to 5 stars. These have filled in nicely among the weeds and my Yarrow. I keep large weeds pulled and the plants are fine. They bloom about mid-July here in Massachusetts along with the Yarrow. Heavy rain will bring them down but they stand up ok but not perfect when dry. Not as profuse a bloom as I had hoped but pretty nevertheless. I don't feed them or water except in extreme heat with little rain. They spread gently and are easily controlled. Too tall in my yard for a walk-on ground cover. More than 12".Update, 4-24-16: I have 9 plants now. They grow to about 9 inches. Flowers last year were few. Hopefully will be fuller this year. Slow to establish. Keep weeded.These seeds germinated beautifully. About 2 inches tall now. Found out this can be used for a low traffic, fragrant lawn which seldom needs mowing. I'll be broadcasting it everywhere as it does not need to be covered with soil to germinate. Just mix seed with a filler such as sand, scatter by hand or with a small mechanical device if you're fussy about even coverage and tamp lightly with your feet or a lawn seed roller. Lightly mist often so as not to disturb the seed with too much water or heavy drops from a sprinkler. Maybe lightly cover with peat moss or hay if you're concerned about heavy rain. Germinates in less than a week (for me indoors). Excellent price for this quantity of seed!

All the seeds germinated quickly.
