- JOHN S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6/22/26Germination rate
Almost all of the seeds germinated and are progressing, albeit slowly.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests6/23/26Hey John,
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! It's fantastic to hear that almost all of your Feverfew seeds germinated - that's exactly what we love to see! Don't worry about the slower progression, Feverfew can be a bit of a patient grower in the early stages, but once it gets established, you'll have beautiful daisy-like blooms that are absolutely worth the wait. Keep on growing 🌻

Only pack out of the 4 or 5 that actually sprouted. No flowers yet
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests6/25/26Hey Julien,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts in a review. I understand your frustration with the germination rate on some of the packs - that's definitely not the experience we want for you. Feverfew can sometimes be a bit finicky when it comes to sprouting, but it sounds like you're on the right track with the ones that did take off! The flowers should come in time as your plants continue to mature. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to ensuring your experience is positive. Thank you once again for your input. Keep on growing 🌻️
- Mercedes T.Rated 5 out of 5 stars6/19/26These are beautiful plants
They are perennial and can self-seed in your yard so it can give you joy for a very long time plus they are medicinal plants too. However, these require winter sowing or cold stratification. Sow them out in your yard in late fall or late winter. These like to germinate in cold weather.

The germination rate was great.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateWho do you grow for? YourselfHow do you prefer to grow? Container - TabithaVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/9/26Overwhelming germination!
I planted three pinches of seeds after blocking out this small Auk container. It seems like every seed germinated! Any tips on how and when to thin these? You can see that they have their true leaves but are very short. Should I go in with scissors and mow this down to one seedling per block? Or let them grow in clumps like this? Thank you!!
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests4/12/26Hey Tabitha,
We're absolutely thrilled to hear your Feverfew Seeds had such incredible germination! What a wonderful problem to have - it sounds like you've got a fantastic success rate there! For thinning, you're spot on with using scissors to snip the extras rather than pulling them out, which can disturb the roots of the keepers. Since they have their true leaves, now is actually a perfect time to thin them down to one strong seedling per block. Just choose the healthiest, most vigorous looking one in each section and carefully snip the others at soil level. Your remaining feverfew plants will have much more room to develop into those beautiful, bushy plants with those lovely daisy-like flowers! Keep on growing 🌻️
