Matricaria Tetra [30010]

Tanacetum partenium

NEW 2024

Also known as German Chamomile, Feverfew or Mayweed. Fully-double dainty, white blooms with a yellow to lime centre. Very productive and right at home among cottage garden or wildflower mixes. Another great attractor of butterflies, bees and beneficial insects. Easy to grow. Suitable for cut flowers; if you want to achieve longer stems and earlier blooms, it is best planted in autumn and "over-wintered" in a greenhouse or similar, as it needs protections from frosts. But sown in early spring it can be grown as an annual, protect with cloche or something similar to avoid any rogue frosts or particularly bad cold spells.
