  • About

CULTIVATION Feverfew is a hardy perennial with aromatic, lacy-edged, lime or yellow-green leaves and single or double, daisy-like, white flowers from early summer. Reaching 45-60cm (18-24in), it prefers well-drained, medium soil and full sun. Propagate it by sowing seeds in spring or divide the plant in autumn and one can take stem cuttings from the plant in summer. Harvest the leaves whenever they are available and the flowers from midsummer. A lovely garden, border, container and conservatory herb.
