Feverfew (Tall Single White) Seeds
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium)
Description:
Feverfew is a perennial herbaceous plant known for its medicinal properties and attractive daisy-like flowers, typically growing to a height of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm). ‘Tall single white’ feverfew is the classic traditional type, featuring clusters of small, daisy-like flowers with white petals and a yellow centre. The flowers are borne on erect stems and are surrounded by feathery, deeply lobed leaves. The leaves are bright green in colour and have a pungent scent when crushed. Feverfew blooms in summer through to autumn (and sometimes winter), adding charm to gardens with its delicate flowers and fern-like foliage.
Growing Conditions:
Climate: cool-temperate; prefers mild summers and cool winters.
Position: full sun to partial shade with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day; to prevent wilting in hot climates, provide some shade during the hottest part of the day.
Soil: well-draining, rich, fertile, sandy or loamy soil; ideal pH range is slightly acidic to neutral (around 6.0 to 7.0).
Water: moderate water needs; water the plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; drought-tolerant once established.
Spacing: space the plants approximately 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart to allow them room to spread.
Propagation: sow the seeds directly into the garden bed or seed flats/pots in early spring or autumn; lightly cover the seeds with soil (light-dependent germination, usually within 14 to 21 days); alternatively, divide mature plants in spring or early autumn by carefully separating the root clumps and replanting them.
Harvest:
Leaves: harvest leaves when they are young and vibrant, before the plant starts to flower. Cut the individual leafy stems close to the base of the plant using clean scissors or pruners. The leaves can be used fresh or dried for medicinal preparations.
Flowers: harvest flowers when they are fully open and at their peak freshness. Snip the flower clusters at the stem using clean scissors or pruners. The flowers can be used fresh or dried for herbal preparations.
