Feverfew

Description

Remarkably effective at preventing migraine headaches. The plant has light green foliage and clusters of single white daisy-like flowers with yellow centres. The whole plant has a strong bitter taste, can be grown in any soil, even poor soil, thriving better in semi shade. Sow seed on top of soil, lightly press so as not to cover the seed - they need light to germinate. If growing as a prophylactic against migraine we suggest keeping 4 or 5 plants covered with a cloche or in a greenhouse if the district is subject to severe frosts to ensure continuing supply for treatment during winter.

Maturity 75 days from transplant.
