AnnualMatricaria recutita. The blooms on this petite variety resemble daisies with their bright white petals coming off their vibrant yellow discs. The sweet flavor resembles apples and has a calming ability. This medicinal herb has been a staple for centuries. Grows up to 20" tall and can produce hundreds of flower heads if properly maintained. Ideal for making a homemade calming tea, drying for decorations, or making perfume.
Started the seeds and have great germination. Looking forward to beautiful flowers in a couple months.
I winter sowed some of these seeds in a milk jug. I checked on them on 2/10/26 and saw that they were sprouting. Im in the southern end of the Pacific North West (zone 8A). I am currently under a winter storm warning, with a potential to produce 8"-12" of snow. So, we will see what happens.
Great germination
I had great success with these seeds. The seeds germinated in the time stated on the package. The plants were very hardy. The flowers were so cute! I cut them and used them for tea which was very flavorful. I planted a 3 foot row last summer. I will plant an 8 foot row this year so I can dry some for tea.
I have not planted Chamomile yet but plan to plant it come this Spring.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
