{"product_id":"feverfew-tanacetum-parthenium","title":"Feverfew | Tanacetum parthenium","description":"\u003cp\u003e🌿 Ships well rooted in a 3.5 x 5 inch deep pot. Well established root system and ready to plant! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeverfew earns its place in the garden on multiple fronts at once. Clouds of small white daisy flowers with bright yellow button centers cover the plant from midsummer through fall — delicate individually, extraordinary en masse, and exceptional as cut flowers with a 10–14 day vase life. The deeply lobed, parsley-like foliage is strongly aromatic with a sharp citrus-herbal scent that repels deer, aphids, and a long list of garden pests including moths, flies, and mosquitoes — making it one of the better companion plants you can tuck into a vegetable or herb garden. Hoverflies work the flowers heavily, and those hoverflies in turn prey on aphids throughout the surrounding garden. It's a short-lived perennial that behaves more like a self-seeding annual — flowering in its first year, then renewing itself freely from seed year after year once established. Pinch it back at 6–8 inches tall for a bushy, multi-stemmed plant with maximum bloom.\u003cbr\u003eFeverfew has been grown in cottage and apothecary gardens since ancient Greece — its name derives from the Latin febrifugia, meaning \"to drive out fever\" — and carries a long history of traditional use across European herbalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 Latin Name: Tanacetum parthenium\u003cbr\u003e🌞 Light: Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e🌱 Soil: Well-drained, average to lean; tolerates sandy and gravelly soils; no wet feet\u003cbr\u003e💧 Water: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established\u003cbr\u003e📏 Mature Size: 18–36 inches tall\u003cbr\u003e🌸 Bloom Time: Midsummer through fall\u003cbr\u003e🗺️ Hardiness Zone: 4–9\u003cbr\u003e🦋 Wildlife Value: Attracts hoverflies and beneficial insects; seeds feed small birds; deer resistant; natural pest deterrent in companion planting\u003cbr\u003e🌿 Herbal Tradition: Centuries of use in European herbalism dating to ancient Greece\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Earth Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" x 5\" pot","offer_id":42991471329351,"sku":null,"price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/5058\/5415\/files\/1_261a12d3-5d5c-4cd6-9ed9-87b3d4775b16.png?v=1784730921","url":"https:\/\/newearthnursery.com\/products\/feverfew-tanacetum-parthenium","provider":"New Earth Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
