I started Tanacetum parthenium, commonly known as “feverfew”, from seed in Winter 2023. Like most perennials grown from seed, it took until the second year for them to get well-established. These cute, little daisy-like flowers are in bloom and I couldn’t be more grateful to have them this year. Feverfew can be mistaken for chamomile (they are in the same plant family), but the plants have different properties and purposes. Traditionally, feverfew has been used to relieve pain and reduce fevers – hence its name – but can also support respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, menstrual disorders, kidney disease, liver disease, tinnitus, infertility, and anemia. I’ll be working hard to dry as much feverfew as possible to add to my herbal first aid arsenal.
