Feverfew

~100 Seeds, Tanacetum parthenium

Feverfew is a delightful addition to any garden, bringing both charm and utility. This cottage garden favourite is known for its dainty, daisy-like flowers that bloom in cheerful clusters atop delicate green foliage.

Not only does it add beauty, but feverfew also pulls its weight in the garden by attracting pollinators and beneficial insects while deterring pesky deer and rabbits. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to grow and drought-tolerant, making it perfect for both seasoned gardeners and beginners looking to add a low-maintenance superstar to their space.
