Feverfew Magic Lime Green

$5.25

One of my favourite bouquet fillers and gorgeous in the garden too!  Actually a soft creamy yellow—the colour of fresh buttermilk. Sprays of miniature domes like mini chrysanthemums. Branching habit.

Easy to grow and harvest. Tender or short-lived perennial in Zones 5–9.

Description

Tanacetum parthenium

Transplant (recommended) – Sow 5-7 weeks before transplanting in either spring or fall. Gently press the seeds into growing medium, but do not cover as light aids germination.

hardy annual/tender perennial, 24 to 32″, full sun, Days to maturity 100 to 110 days, Plant spacing: 9″,  not necessary to pinch
Feverfew is a long-day plant, meaning flowering is generally initiated during the longest days of the season. Plants will eventually bloom under short-day conditions but on shorter stems.

Harvest when one-quarter to one-half of the flowers on a spray are open. Dried: harvest when flower cluster is almost fully open.

Notorious for making their water dark and murky overnight, even with floral preservative. To combat this, add a few drops of bleach to the water. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.

Approx seeds per packet: 50

Lupin Mix
Lupin Mix
A member of the pea family, Lupins are a wonderful old-fashioned flower, with spires of blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, peach and bicolours.. Although they are perennials, lupins are in the class of short-lived perennials. They put all their energy into those magnificent flower stalks and wear themselves out in the effort. Lupins live in the range of two to five years, but luckily they will self seed and the butterflies and bumblebees will love you.   *All parts of this plant are poisonous, including the seeds. Exercise extreme caution around children and pets. The purchaser assumes all liability relating to the use of this product.
