Details
Toothed petals framing yellow button centers define this pungently-scented herb, Feverfew, revered for its healing properties, particularly effective in mitigating migraines, making it a staple in herb, vegetable, and ornamental gardens. Its soft, sunny clouds of lemon yellow and white blooms present a cheerful, self-sowing perennial that serves as an ideal cut flower or landscaping plant, perfect for borders, mass planting, and containers. The long-lasting, abundant blooms introduce tufts of subtle color, enhancing any garden space. As a beautiful medicinal plant, Feverfew has been traditionally used for treating headaches. It forms a low bushy mound of fragrant green leaves, revered in both flower and herb gardens for its wide use in natural remedies, especially for migraine relief. This compact selection blooms small yellow and white daisies from mid-summer, and as a short-lived perennial, it will self-sow.
