Matricaria 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.
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've not had them sprout yet, as I've winter sown them and expect their tini-ness to be visible next spring and I'll plant them then...But, Your seeds are always viable, so I've no doubt they will be great in this instance also.
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
Nice I like it. Its perfect
Awesome carrots. Love the mix of colors.
This is my favorite lettuce! Hard to find near me. So glad MIgardener had it.
