I have no idea when feverfew landed in my garden. It seems like it has been there a long time. It seeds itself around in pots near the greenhouse and in the memory garden, as well. The fragrant, charming, and cheery plant is welcome wherever it grows.

Often, I’ll prick out volunteer seedlings growing among tree seedling pots and move them to their own pots for setting out in the garden as fillers when the time comes. They are flexible and easy–they can be transplanted any time. Their bright green, chrysanthemum-y foliage is beautiful on its own, but come late June or early July, hundreds of white daisies smother the leaves. They attract lots of interesting pollinators.

This year, I notice I have a semi-double seedling and a single form blooming in the memory garden.

My 2020 plans for these carefree plants are to pot more seedlings on and keep them handy for filling in during the autumn, since they aren’t shy about blooming even late in the year if given half a chance.
