Crop duration: Chamomile is an annual plant that blooms during the summer. Plants begin to flower approximately 6 to 8 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Chamomile Polidosum is known for its small, delicate flowers with white petals and yellow centers. These flowers are highly valued for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties, and are commonly used to prepare herbal teas that help relieve stress, anxiety, and digestive problems. Additionally, chamomile is an attractive plant in the garden, with light foliage and a sweet, mild aroma.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering, although it can also tolerate partial shade. Make sure the plants receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Chamomile Polidosum needs regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, but well drained. It is a fairly drought tolerant plant once established, but consistent watering will promote a better flower yield.
Pests: Chamomile is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by aphids and spider mites. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold Hardiness: Chamomile is moderately cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making it an excellent choice for early spring plantings.
Substrate: A well-drained, slightly sandy substrate is recommended. Chamomile prefers light soils, but can adapt to different types of soil as long as drainage is adequate.
Harvest: Chamomile flowers are harvested when they are fully open. They can be used fresh or dried to prepare infusions or as ingredients in natural cosmetics. To dry the flowers, hang them upside down in a dark, well-ventilated place.
