Product Review
Chrysanthemum parthenium is a perennial herb that has been used medicinally for many years. It is commonly known as Feverfew, and it is a tall plant, 36 inches in height, with deeply-cut green leaves and white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. Feverfew blooms throughout the summer, and the flowers dry very nicely for potpourri. Start the seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the seed into soil; cover it lightly with soil and keep the seed moist. With a temperature of 70F, germination is usually in 21 days. Transplant the young plant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Feverfew prefers a position in full sun as it is susceptible to mildew in shady conditions, and it will grow in poor soils. Space the plant 24 inches apart.
- VIBRANT, TOWERING BLOOMS: Our feverfew chrysanthemum plants grow up to 36 inches tall, with some varieties reaching up to 4 feet. Their striking white petals and yellow centers bloom from June to July, adding height and bold color to your garden or flower bed. Perfect for any space, these perennials are a favorite for wildflower gardens and provide long-lasting, vibrant floral displays.
- HARDY & ADAPTABLE: Feverfew chrysanthemum daisy seeds grow well in USDA Zones 5-8, making them versatile for both cool and warm climates. These daisy plants perform beautifully in wildflower mixes or alongside other annual and perennial flowers, producing consistent, stunning blooms year after year. Their resilience makes them a great choice for a flower garden that endures across seasons.
- EASY PLANTING & SPACE-SAVING: Plant these daisies in spring or fall, spacing them 1-2 feet apart for healthy growth. For larger areas, sow 4 ounces per 1,000 square feet. In colder climates, start daisy seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. In warmer climates, sow directly outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
- LOW-MAINTENANCE, POLLINATOR FAVORITE: Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, daisy plants are a great addition to butterfly gardens and wild flower seed mixes. These water-efficient, drought-tolerant, deer proof plants attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, making them great for supporting a healthy outdoor environment with minimal maintenance.
- PROLIFIC BLOOMS YEAR AFTER YEAR: While chrysanthemum seeds take time to establish, they bloom prolifically in subsequent seasons. Deadheading encourages continuous blooms. After 3-4 years, divide the plants to avoid overcrowding. These daisy flowers provide consistent, low-maintenance beauty in your garden season after season.
