Feverfew in the garden and around the home

Feverfew has very sweet daisy like flowers with white petals and yellow centers. They bloom from the midsummer through fall.

The bright green leaves are highly aromatic. These plants are hardy from zones 5-9

Some have used feverfew's fresh or dried stems to floral arrangements, and some have used the dried flowers to add color to potpourri.

Leaves and stems of feverfew produce a yellow-green dye. The tea can even be used as a mild household disenfectant for cleaning.
