Tanacetum parthenium
Feverfew
Asteraceae/Compositae
A loveable aromatic plant, Feverfew gives off a strong and bitter
odour that is not altogether unpleasant. Its bright leaves
are
alternate, and turn downward with short hairs.
The small,
bunches of daisy-like yellow centred flowers are arranged in
a dense
flat-topped cluster.
Feverfew strikes well from seed in winter,
Autumn and Spring and once established and if not harvested
too
intensely, it will reseed itself freely.
Our Feverfew flower from
early Spring to late Autumn.
Packet of
30+ seeds $3.50

As a working cure for migraine, we have found Feverfew unequalled.
It also helps us through winter in combination with
Echinacea,
Verbascium and Mulberry for the occasional heavy cold or
flu. Homoeopathically, we find it excellent, in combination
with
Golden
Rod
and
Galphimia for Sinus attacks or hay fever.
