If you\u2019re planning on harvesting often, grow several plants together so there are always blooms left behind.

It was used to treat <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC3210009\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fevers, headaches, arthritis, and a range of other conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feverfew grows vigorously and without much additional effort from gardeners. They aren\u2019t fussy about location (as long as it\u2019s a sunny spot) and handle short periods of drought well. They also attract beneficial insects, bringing life to your cottagecore garden. And like German chamomile, the blooms are great for drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they are considered <strong>short-lived perennials, <\/strong>your plants will reseed and spread around your garden naturally. Their pollinator-attracting abilities are a great benefit in vegetable and herb gardens, so mix them in with your edibles if you have the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Cherry_Caramel_Phlox\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cherry Caramel Phlox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy-botanicalinterestscom.epicgardening.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up shot of a decorative composition of Cherry Caramel Phlox flowers, showcasing its classic vintage appearance with beige and pink colored petals, hat is situated in a well lit area\" class=\"wp-image-1702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-920x518.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/A-close-up-shot-of-a-decorative-composition-of-Cherry-Caramel-Phlox-414x233.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">These plants perform best in moderate temperatures and can bloom prolifically.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/products\/cherry-caramel-phlox-seeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cherry Caramel<\/a>\u2019 phlox has a classic and almost vintage look that blends seamlessly into a cottagecore garden.
