Description
Feverfew is a species of chrysanthemum that has been grown in herb and medicinal gardens for centuries.
The herb was used to treat a variety of conditions such as headaches, arthritis, and as the name implies, fever.
Pretty daisy-like flowers on a mid-sized bush make Feverfew a garden favourite.
The white petals with yellow centers, accent the green serrated leaves of this plant.
It is a clump-forming, dwarf cultivar which typically grows only 20 to 30cm tall.
Feverfew is great for repelling mosquitoes and other flying biting insects.
It is ideal for planting around outdoor seating areas, pathways and close to doorways and windows, for maximum benefit, plant in conjunction with lavender.
Whether your interest lies in medicinal herbs or simply its decorative qualities, growing Feverfew can be a welcome addition to any garden or veggie path.
Feverfew is a good companion plant enhancing the growth of plants around it. Feverfew contains pyrethrin, a natural insect repellent.
A weak infusion controls whitefly and spider mites. Dried and crushed flowers repel aphids and leafhoppers.
