Why grow Feverfew?

Natural Pest Deterrent: Feverfew naturally contains compounds that repel many common garden pests like aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Its strong, citrusy-bitter aroma also helps deter mosquitoes and flies from the the area.
Medicinal Uses: Traditionally known as an ancient remedy, the active compound in feverfew (parthenolide) is used fresh or dried to help manage migraines, headaches, and minor aches.
Wildlife and Pollinators: The bright, daisy-like flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, making it a fantastic addition to biodiversity and wildlife gardens.
Companion Planting: Because of its pest-repellent qualities, it is frequently used as a companion plant around vegetable patches and fruit trees.
Ornamental: With their delicate white petals and golden centers, feverfew blooms add a classic look to informal borders and are excellent cut flowers.

Seed Germination

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, or sow them directly in early spring or late autumn.
• Fill seed trays or small pots with a well-draining, seed mix. 
• Lightly mist the soil beforehand to settle it.
• Sprinkle the seeds lightly over the surface of the soil. 
• Do not cover them, but gently press them in so they don't blow away. 
• Place trays under grow lights or in a bright, warm spot, as light is a trigger for germination.
• Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. 
• Cover to prevent the surface from drying out.
  
• Seedlings will typically emerge in 10 to 15 days.
  
• Once sprouted, remove any cover to allow for air circulation.
  
• Maintain consistent soil moisture.
  
• Harden off seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting out
  
• Plant out in a sunny, free-fraining position
  
• Will self-seed for future seasons
