Tanacetum parthenium Tetra White Wonder Seeds - Feverfew

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

The species Tanacetum parthenium, also known as Feverfew, belongs to the asteraceae family. Native to Eastern and Southern Europe and temperate Asia, it has been widely naturalised elsewhere. Feverfew is cultivated for both medicinal and ornamental purposes. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that grows 30 to 70 cm tall, with an upright, almost smooth, highly branched and leafy stem. The leaves have petioles, are hairless and aromatic, and resemble those of a chrysanthemum. Feverfew can be distinguished from the other two medicinal chamomiles by its greater height and wider leaf lobes.

The 'Tetra White Wonder' Feverfew reaches a height of 70 cm in one season, with a width of 30 to 40 cm. It produces highly double pompom-like, fragrant, white flowers with a greenish centre. It blooms profusely throughout the summer.

This 'Tetra White Wonder' Feverfew, with its chrysanthemum-like appearance, is robust and reliable in the garden due to its abundant self-seeding. It is very easy to grow and can thrive in ordinary soil while preferring a sunny exposure. It is a bushy plant that easily integrates into a perennial flower bed. When paired, for example, with roses or hardy geraniums, its simplicity allows it to complement any style of flower bed and plants. When sown in a pot, it provides a long-lasting solution for decorating terraces and balconies. With excellent vase life, it will allow you to create beautiful countryside bouquets throughout the summer.
