A Victorian garden staple and an herbal remedy for centuries, feverfew is a reliable, fairly drought-tolerant, unfussy plant with masses of small white flowers on scented, ferny foliage. Blooms attract beneficial insects, and are great fresh-cut or dried flowers. Avidly reseeds, so let these “volunteers” decorate your garden and attract pollinators. Also known as featherfew, bachelor’s or bride’s button, and midsummer daisy. Feverfew is used in traditional teas and has a long history of medicinal use. Perennial in USDA zones 5–8. Deer resistant.

Charming, 1″, sky-blue flowers open at dawn on airy and gracefully arching stems. Flowers last one day but are replaced the next morning providing constant color. Plants withstand summer heat, winter cold, poor soils, drought conditions, and will also grow in part shade. Plant in groups or mix with other wildflowers as effective erosion control. Seeds attract wild birds, and the flowers attract pollinators.

More than just good looks, this annual and perennial mix is completely edible! In bright colors of orange, blue, yellow, and pink, you’ll not only enjoy their color all season, but also the many ways you can use them. Savor the range of flavors, from peppery calendula and arugula, to clove-like bachelor’s button, and the light onion flavor of chives. Add to salads, soups, and cooked dishes, and make herb butter, vinegars, and flavored drinks. The culinary possibilities are endless!

Bright blossoms sparkle in a vibrant display that lasts through the spring, summer, and fall. Sow seeds wherever you want a dash of color. Once established, plants need only minimal care. Sow in spring where bulbs such as crocus, daffodils, and tulips emerge, so that as your flower bulbs finish blooming, these flowers continue the show and fill the area with nonstop color. Many plants in this mix may reseed and come back the following year.
