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.

    There was a very high germination rate. I sprinkled them on top of soil in a seedling tray mid-december. It took 3 months for the plant to get to 0.5"-1" tall. In March I transplanted them outside. It's now 4/22 and the plants are matbe 4" tall. It's looking like i may have blooms sometime this summer. The good news is that they're perennial and I'll never have to plant them again.
