Description
Reviews

Feverfew tastes very bitter and looks very similar to Chamomile, to which it is related. It is said to be very helpful for migraines due to the relaxing and anti-spasmodic substances it contains. Anyone who has spent too long in front of a computer screen could also find that Feverfew provides effective relief. In the past Feverfew was used to induce labour and its use should therefore be avoided during pregnancy.

The leaves are used mainly, fresh or dried as a tea or eaten fresh with bread and butter. This plant has also become a healing plant in traditional Chinese medicine, even though it is not native to that region. Its original habitat extends from south-eastern Europe through to the Caucasus.

This luxuriant plant has other qualities, too – from June onward Feverfew produces a mass of little white flowers with yellow centres, flowering continuously through into autumn. Growing many plants together in groups or rows can produce beautiful effects in a garden. As a cut flower Feverfew lasts very well and looks good in all kinds of summer bouquet.

Herbaceous perennial. We recommend starting seeds indoors from March. Can also be direct sown outdoors from mid-April. Needs light to germinate: simply scatter the seeds where you want them to grow and press down lightly. Germinates in 14 days at temperatures of 15-20°C. Loves sunny to semi-shade locations. Self-seeds. Cutting back hard in autumn or spring encourages flower production and stops the plant getting too woody.
