Feverfew is a charming filler flower that adds cheerful texture and movement to bouquets. With its dainty daisy-like blooms and branching habit, it’s one of my favorite reliable workhorses in the field. I love tucking it into market bouquets for a touch of whimsy and a just-picked feel.
Varieties:
Magic Single
A sweet and dainty single-petaled feverfew that feels effortlessly wild and airy. Magic has a more open habit and pairs well with more romantic or garden-style arrangements.
Tetra White
This double-flowered variety produces dense, pom-pom style blooms in pure white with yellow centers. The plants are vigorous, productive, and make excellent cut-and-come-again filler for summer bouquets.
25 Feverfew seeds per packet.

Germination:
10-14 days
Transplant (recommended): Sow 5–7 weeks before planting in spring or fall. Press seeds into soil surface—light required for germination. Bottom water or mist. Pot up to cell packs or 3–4" pots after 2–4 weeks. Harden off before transplanting.
- Fall planting (Zones 5–9): Transplant 3–4 weeks before first frost. Overwinter in tunnels for earlier, taller (up to 48") stems and abundant blooms.
- Spring planting: Best treated as an annual. Early tunnel transplanting yields long stems; row covers protect during cold spells. Transplant once indoor temps stay above freezing.
Direct seed: Sow outdoors as soon as soil can be worked. Press seeds into surface, keep moist, and thin at first true leaves.
Growing Conditions:
Grows best in full sun.
Spacing:
Plant starts 8-12 inches apart.
