The easy way for a gardener to organise their growing and discover gardening ideas.
Growing
Feverfew is a perennial plant that can be grown from seed, or propagated by dividing a mature plant.
I have had success germinating feverfew from seed, and growing in a medium sized pot on a patio. Out of all the herbs I grow, only feverfew has been affected by black aphids. As a small plant, the aphids have been easy to wash off.
Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season.
My plant has survived winter without needing to be brought indoors and no special care.
