Tanacetum parthenium Tetra White Single Seeds - Feverfew

The 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew, known as Tanacetum parthenium in Latin, is also called Chrysanthemum parthenium. It is a hardy perennial plant that produces small white flowers with a yellow centre. They are fragrant and bloom from June to September. The plant self-seeds so abundantly that its short lifespan is not always noticeable.

The species Tanacetum parthenium is also known as Feverfew and belongs to the Asteraceae family. Native to Eastern and Southern Europe, and temperate Asia, this species has been widely naturalised elsewhere. Feverfew grows in uncultivated areas, rock gardens, roadside edges, and cultivated environments. It is cultivated as a medicinal plant and as an ornamental plant. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that reaches a height of 30 to 70 cm, with an upright, almost hairless, highly branched and leafy stem. The leaves have petioles, are hairy, aromatic, and resemble those of a chrysanthemum more than those of the German chamomile Matricaria recutita. The radiate flower heads, measuring 2 cm in diameter, are arranged in dense corymbs. Feverfew can be distinguished from the other two medicinal chamomiles by its greater height and wider leaf lobes.

The 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew reaches a height of 70 cm in one season, with a width of 30 to 40 cm. It produces white flowers with a greenish centre and blooms abundantly throughout the summer.

This 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew, despite its short lifespan, is robust and reliable in the garden thanks to its abundant self-seeding. It is very easy to grow and thrives in ordinary soil in full sun. It is a bushy plant that blends perfectly into a perennial flower bed, bringing freshness, lightness, and abundance. When paired with roses or hardy geraniums, its simplicity allows it to complement any style. When sown in a pot, it provides a long-lasting solution for decorating the terrace and balcony. With its excellent vase life, it will allow you to create beautiful countryside bouquets throughout the summer.
