How to save Chamomile Seeds
German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a self seeding annual in Southern Ontario. To ensure it comes back each year saving seeds as a back up plan is key, and extremely easy.
How to collect chamomile seeds

A this point, the yellow center will brown and begin to ‘flake’ apart when touched.
These little flakes are your seeds, collect and store in a paper bag.
Chamomile is one of my favourite plants for a kids bedtime garden. For more on a sleep assisting space check out this post.
