The MayFord Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is a fast-growing herb, widely appreciated for its soothing properties and ability to attract pollinators. It is best sown directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a sowing depth of 13 mm, and requires consistent moisture for successful germination.
Seedlings should be thinned out at 25 cm intervals, with a final plant height of 50–70 cm, ensuring strong growth and abundant flowering. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while consistent moisture maintenance encourages lush blooms.
Harvesting occurs approximately 100–120 days after planting, producing delicate white flowers that are used for herbal teas and remedies. Chamomile is a great companion plant in vegetable gardens, helping to improve soil health and ward off pests.
