TANACETUM parthenium ‘Aureum’

Common name: Golden Feverfew

Growing region: USDA Zone: 5 to 7
Height: .75 to 1-ft.

Sun: full sun.
Water: medium
Maintenance: medium
Suggested use: annual, naturalize.
Flower: showy.
Tolerates: drought.
Foliage: Chartreuse, aromatic.

Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers moist, humusy soils with good drainage. Sometimes considered to be a biennial, but will usually remain in the garden through self-seeding that I’ve never considered invasive. Autumn or spring planting. 

Shear the spent blossoms immediately after blooming if you choose to avoid self-seeding.

Notes:
Grown in medicinal gardens for centuries. Contains pyrethrin, a natural insect repellent. 

Suited to container growing, especially around outdoor seating areas, naturalized areas or cottage gardens where it can freely self-seed. 

The Golden Feverfew is very easy to weed out if you choose. 

May be used in rock gardens, edging, or bedding plant. 

An excellent companion to roses.
