The Story
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) has a long history of use as a medicinal herb as well as a cut flower staple. It is native to Eurasia, but naturalized to much of the United States and Canada. It can be grown as an annual, and often reflushes with a second bloom after being trimmed. Very easy to grow, and great for both beginning and experienced cut flower enthusiasts. They are a hardy annual/tender perennial.
The clouds of these long-lasting flowers are recommended by Floret as a market bouquet staple. For best results with as cut flowers, harvest when 1/4 to half of the flowers are open. Add a few drops of bleach to the water, and you can expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.
