Feverfew resembles a small daisy with white petals and a golden center. Feverfew grows on stalks between 1 and 3 feet in height and the plant will produce a plethora of blossoms in clusters. Some gardeners consider feverfew invasive due to the easy and energetic way it will self-sow if you allow it to grow unrestrained. Cut back feverfew in the fall to shape the plant and control its spread.
Instructions
1. Deadhead the feverfew blossoms at the end of the summer as they fade. Leave some blossoms on the stems if you want the feverfew plant to self-sow for future plants the next growing season. Remove all other blossoms as soon as they fade to prevent seeds from falling on the soil.
2. Discard the blossoms so they will not drop seeds on the soil.
3. Watch the plant for any additional blossoms after the initial bloom. Feverfew will sometimes put forth a second bloom in the early autumn after you deadhead the first blossoms. Deadhead any second blooms when they fade to control self-sowing. Leave some of the spent blossoms to allow the feverfew plant to self-sow if you desire.
4. Cut back the feverfew stems to shape the plant when the last of the blossoms finish in the autumn. This will shape the feverfew plant into an attractive plant throughout the remainder of the autumn season.
