Product Details

A Victorian garden staple and an herbal remedy for centuries, feverfew is a reliable, fairly drought-tolerant, unfussy plant with masses of small white flowers on scented, ferny foliage. Blooms attract beneficial insects, and are great fresh-cut or dried flowers. Avidly reseeds, so let these "volunteers" decorate your garden and attract pollinators. Also known as featherfew, bachelor's or bride's button, and midsummer daisy. Feverfew is used in traditional teas and has a long history of medicinal use. Perennial in USDA zones 5–8. Deer resistant.

    Beautiful!

    I bought these seeds on a whim and they were one of the most successful out of all I purchased. I winter sowed them in a plastic container in January and by mid February they were germinating. Excellent germination rate and I’m looking forward to seeing those beautiful dainty blooms.

    Abundant germination of seeds! Every seed germinated and seedlings are growing rapidly and look great! I will be transplanting small clumps into the garden shortly.
