German Chamomile's tiny daisy-like flowers are so sweet and retro. Plus, they're edible, so you can (and should) cover all future cakes with flowers.

Chamomile resembles what a kid draws when you ask them to draw a flower, and for that, they are the sweetest little things.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with well-draining soil
When to Plant	Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon
When to Expect Blooms	Late spring through frost
Care Instructions	Water regularly until they get established, and during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more
Extra Credit	When the flowers are in full bloom, you can snip them off and dry them for tea, or use them as a garnish fresh. Blooms have a mild and sweet apple-ish flavor
