Feverfew Magic Lime Green is a unique and eye-catching annual prized for its unusual flower form and soft chartreuse colouring. Each bloom resembles a button-like cushion, glowing in shades of fresh lime green that add texture and contrast to any flower arrangement.

With their long vase life, Magic Lime Green is perfect for bouquets, centrepieces, and wedding arrangements, where their subtle green tones pair beautifully with both bold and pastel flowers. Beyond the cutting garden, they add playful texture and unusual colour to garden borders and beds, standing out in contrast against traditional blooms.
Easy to grow and highly productive, Feverfew thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Its vigorous growth habit ensures plenty of stems for continuous harvesting, while its long, upright stems make cutting easy.

Growing Instructions
Start seeds indoors (recommended) 5–8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds on the soil surface, pressing them lightly as light aids germination. Bottom water to avoid displacing seeds. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing 9–12 inches apart. Plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Pinching young plants encourages branching and more blooms. Harvest regularly to promote continuous flowering.
Direct outdoors after last frost date. Gently press seeds into soil but do not cover. Keep moist and thin to 8 - 12 inches apart.
