feverfew


Another simple flower in our palette of useful plants is feverfew. It is a medicinal perennial herb, said to treat migraine.

It has an uncomplicated flowerhead, ideal for visiting bees and hoverflies. As a perennial, it may struggle in this spot next year when the potato haulm may overwhelm it.
It is, however, a plucky little survivor and so may fight its corner well.
