Pet safety guideAbout German Chamomile
German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a fast-growing, fragrant cool-season annual in NE Florida, planted in fall for winter and spring bloom. Its feathery foliage and white daisy flowers with yellow centers are valued for herbal teas; it self-seeds readily in sandy, well-drained soil.

Care essentials
Grow German Chamomile in full sun (6+ hours daily); in NE Florida, plant as a cool-season annual in fall for winter and spring bloom—it self-seeds readily in sandy soil.
Water lightly to moderately; chamomile tolerates brief drought but performs best with consistent soil moisture during cooler months. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prefers lean, well-drained sandy or loamy soil; over-rich soil produces excessive foliage at the expense of flowers. Little to no fertilizer is needed—amend only with a small amount of compost if soil is extremely poor.
