Feverfew

Tanacetum parthenium

Certified Organic

Perennial herb with daisy-like blooms and deep-green foliage.

A favorite for the medicinal garden in no small part due to its highly ornamental daisy-like blooms and deep-green foliage. Native to Eurasia but well-adapted to other regions, this tender perennial has a long history as an herbal medicine for treating inflammation: as early as the first century, Greek herbalist Dioscorides described feverfew's usefulness in his De materia medica.

Grown in full sun, feverfew will develop into a tidy bush reaching up to 30" tall. The dainty white flowers also hold up well in bouquets and vase arrangements.

    I had good germination on these seeds in ~April and every one of the seedlings I planted out became massive and super productive. Their fragrance is really nice and they're perfect as a filler flower in so many different color palettes. They are also extremely cold hardy, we've had light frosts here in Oregon (zone 8) and the feverfew is still going strong. I only pulled it now in November to clear out the garden. I'll definitely grow some next year!

    Had absolutely no germination on these seeds. Not my first time germinating seeds, these just didn’t pop up. Not one.

    I purchased Feverfew seeds last year (2021) and stored the seeds in my seed bin in a cool, dark place. I planted two rounds of the seeds this year (2022). There was no germination from either attempt. I contacted HVSC and they shared articles on how to store seeds. I have been gardening for 20 + years and know how to store seeds. I have bought alot of seed from HVSC and really like the art packs. I'm not sure how I feel about how this was addressed. Most seed companies I have interacted with usually replaces the seeds, especially when they are less than a year old. They did state that they had no other reports of lack of germination for the lot I reported.
