    Customer photo review of Chamomile Seeds - German

    Two different types of plants germinated and the majority were clearly not chamomile. This looks like creeping daisy which is disappointing because I specifically bought this to use as cut flowers. I'll need to wait on the others to bloom to see if they are the correct ones These were grown in seed pods and then transplanted so there's no doubt that they came from this seed packet

    Every one of the seeds I put down germinated so make sure you space them out a bit or you'll have lots of thinning to do! What a great problem to have! I like to make my own tea from chamomile and the smell of these is exactly what you want. Shot up very quickly outside, these like sun. Highly recommended!

    Good Germination, Nice Flowering. Waiting for the seeds to grow for next year...

    If that’s what you want you’ll be happy. If not, you’ve got a LOT to pull up.
