Feverfew Fever
The feverfew is in full bloom. I love this flower. I know - some people consider it to be like a weed. It does like to self-sow, but it adds such a splash of bright white to the garden and it grows anywhere.
Hi Bonnie, I have it too and like it. I've also got the bell flower like yours - they look great together (I never thought of that, hmmmmm)! Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
I love feverfew and have lots in the garden. I'm always pulling out the volunteer plants that keep springing up. I live across the lake from you in Ontario, Canada and I discovered your blog via a link on another blog.
I pull the volunteer plants out too, but even though it reseeds freely, it's easy to control and adds so many bright spots to the garden. So, you live over there where our cold lake winds come from, huh :)
I had one plant of feverfew pop up in a pot in the back yard, under the trees. I don't see any growing in anyone's yards nearby - guess a little birdie planted it for me. Now I will scatter the seeds, I love Feverfew.

ReplyDeleteI love it too. It does not do as well down here as up north; which is where I purchased mine from (Maine) but I still love it!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I didn't think of it either, that just happened to be one of the places my feverfew came up this year. It does look great together.
ReplyDeleteThis is one sweet little flower and such a history of herbal healing too ! I give it a thumbs up for sure Bonnie : )

ReplyDeleteI'm constantly pulling unwanted seedlings of Feverfew but it would be a sad day if it was completely missing from my garden borders. Love your photos!

ReplyDeleteFeverfew is one of my favorites as well. It rarely gets touched by wildlife and re-seeds...free is good anytime.
