Its original home is the eastern Mediterranean. Today, feverfew also thrives in temperate zones.
Feverfew belongs to the daisy family (asteraceae).
The name "parthenium" comes from the Greek "parthenos," which translates as "virgin, virgin goddess," a reference to its healing properties for women's ailments.
The feverfew plant is very undemanding. Because it blooms well into autumn, it's welcome in any garden. Its small seeds are easily tolerated by wind and roaming animals. Thus, feverfew can be found in many locations. From a distance, it's easily mistaken for chamomile.
It is a hardy perennial, up to 90 cm tall, and has light brown, shallow, fine-hairy roots.
The olive to light green leaves of feverfew have a pinnate shape and are arranged alternately on ribbed, hairless stems.
The flowers bloom in midsummer. They are reminiscent of chamomile and daisies. Yellow tubular blossoms sit in the center of the flower, surrounded by white ray florets. It's a cheerful plant. It's surprising, then, that its aromatic scent is bitter and resinous.
