Great banner, Cal.
Almost my entire personal experience with this plant is seeing it in the wild, mostly on waste ground, and along roadsides. I do remember the distinct tang of its foliage when it's crushed. Not surprising, considering it's related to chrysanthemums.

This is such a great little plant....so easy & carefree. Reseeds (thankfully),
and even grows in the crack of this granite boulder in our back yard.
See this slideshow
The blooms are only ~ 3/4" in diameter.

Interesting facts about feverfew

Thanks for all your comments & thumbs. Smiling
