Please note: Do not ingest or apply any plant material without correct identification and appropriate professional guidance.

Wildlife & Garden Benefits

Its long succession of daisy-like flowers brings cottage-garden character and supports small pollinating insects.

Planting

Sowing: Sow under cover from February–April or direct outdoors from April–June. Surface sow or cover very lightly.

Depth: Sow at the surface or cover only lightly unless the seed packet states otherwise. Keep the compost evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting: Move seedlings into individual pots once large enough to handle, then harden off gradually before planting outdoors.

Spacing: Allow room for an eventual spread of Approximately 30–45cm.

Care

Watering: Water gently and consistently during germination and establishment. Once planted out, water according to the moisture needs stated in Plant Information.

Feeding: Use a light balanced feed only where growth appears weak. Excess feeding can produce soft growth and fewer flowers.

Maintenance: Keep young seedlings free from weeds. Remove damaged growth and leave some flower heads to mature where self-seeding or wildlife value is welcome.

Harvesting & Storage

Seed storage: Keep unused seed cool, dry and dark in its original labelled packet or an airtight container.

Garden harvesting: Harvest plant material only after correct identification and only where the relevant part is known to be suitable. Traditional information is not a recommendation for self-treatment.

UK Growing Conditions

Feverfew can be grown successfully in the UK when the sowing requirements are followed. Protect newly germinated seedlings from hard frost, slugs and prolonged waterlogging, and establish plants in full sun or partial shade with moderately fertile, well-drained soil.
