TRADITIONALLY USED TO HELP PREVENT MIGRAINE AMONG OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS, FEVERFEW IS PRETTY IN THE GARDEN OR VASE
Botanically known as Tanacetum parthenium (syn Chrysanthemum parthenium), fever few is a delightful short-lived perennial growing to 60–100cm. Its bright-green foliage is deeply lobed and fern-like in appearance and has quite a pungent scent to it.
The flowers appear as terminal clusters of small white, yellow-centred daisy-like flowers. They can be readily used as a cut flower and are often featured in cottage style gardens. There is also a double white flowering form and a golden-foliaged form.
Fever few can be easily obtained as small plants from garden centres and online. It’s also easy to grow from seed. If you let your plant go to seed it will happily self-seed in the garden.
HISTORY
Feverfew originated in south-eastern Europe and has now naturalised in other locations around the world, such as North America, Australia and other parts of Europe.
