German Chamomile requires consistent moisture, especially during dry spells and flowering. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Good drainage is crucial. Reduce watering slightly after the main bloom period.

Regular deadheading of spent German Chamomile flowers is crucial to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season and to prevent the plant from self-seeding excessively, which can lead to a dense, unruly patch.

Light pruning can also help maintain a compact, bushy shape and improve air circulation, reducing the risk of fungal issues.

As an annual, the entire plant will naturally die back at the end of its life cycle and can then be removed.

Easily propagated from seeds. Sow seeds directly outdoors in spring after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.

Seeds require light to germinate, so press them lightly onto the soil surface without covering. Can also self-seed readily.

As an annual, German Chamomile does not require repotting. If grown in containers, ensure the pot is adequately sized for its mature growth (at least 15-20 cm diameter) and has good drainage holes.

Fresh potting mix should be used each season.
