Golden Feverfew
€6.95
Golden Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium 'Aureum') is offered here as a small-medium potted plant. A compact, aromatic perennial in the daisy family native to southeastern Europe, it forms a neat mound of finely divided, golden-green foliage that glows in sunlight, topped from early summer to autumn with cheerful clusters of small white, daisy-like flowers. Growing to 30-45 cm, it is a long-standing herb-garden favourite, traditionally chewed or taken as a tea in folk herbalism for headaches and migraines — though it isn't suitable during pregnancy, and chewing the fresh leaf can cause mouth ulcers or irritation in sensitive people. The citrus-scented leaves and abundant flowers attract bees, hoverflies and other beneficial insects, helping balance the wider garden ecosystem. Easy-going, drought-tolerant once established and quick to self-seed, it brings colour and texture to herb beds, cottage borders and pollinator-friendly plantings across Ireland and the UK.

Growing Instructions
Grow in full sun in well-drained soil; Golden Feverfew tolerates poor ground and drought once established, but dislikes heavy, waterlogged conditions. Water while young plants settle in, then only during extended dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage further blooming, or leave some to self-seed through the border. Cut back lightly after flowering to maintain a neat, bushy shape and refresh the golden foliage.
