FEVERFEW...it has a hold on me!

I just cut a bunch of Feverfew (tanacetum parthenium) a free seeding flower that can take over the early summer garden with 3' tall bushes of white flowers. It's a typical, slightly stinky herb used for lots of medicinal purposes including migranes and of course fever. All I know is that it's sort of like athlete's foot for the garden...once you have it, you always have it! I must have 50 bushes spread all around, coming from just one plant I moved from our last place! Once it finishes blooming I will log out some of it and cut back the rest to bloom during the summer and fall. If you want more plants, just let a plant go to seed this fall. But be careful what you wish for!
