Description
The 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew, known as Tanacetum parthenium in Latin, is also called Chrysanthemum parthenium. It is a hardy perennial plant that produces small white flowers with a yellow centre. They are fragrant and bloom from June to September. The plant self-seeds so abundantly that its short lifespan is not always noticeable.
The species Tanacetum parthenium is also known as Feverfew and belongs to the Asteraceae family. Native to Eastern and Southern Europe, and temperate Asia, this species has been widely naturalised elsewhere. Feverfew grows in uncultivated areas, rock gardens, roadside edges, and cultivated environments. It is cultivated as a medicinal plant and as an ornamental plant. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that reaches a height of 30 to 70 cm, with an upright, almost hairless, highly branched and leafy stem. The leaves have petioles, are hairy, aromatic, and resemble those of a chrysanthemum more than those of the German chamomile Matricaria recutita. The radiate flower heads, measuring 2 cm in diameter, are arranged in dense corymbs. Feverfew can be distinguished from the other two medicinal chamomiles by its greater height and wider leaf lobes.
The 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew reaches a height of 70 cm in one season, with a width of 30 to 40 cm. It produces white flowers with a greenish centre and blooms abundantly throughout the summer.
This 'Tetra White Single' Feverfew, despite its short lifespan, is robust and reliable in the garden thanks to its abundant self-seeding. It is very easy to grow and thrives in ordinary soil in full sun. It is a bushy plant that blends perfectly into a perennial flower bed, bringing freshness, lightness, and abundance. When paired with roses or hardy geraniums, its simplicity allows it to complement any style. When sown in a pot, it provides a long-lasting solution for decorating the terrace and balcony. With its excellent vase life, it will allow you to create beautiful countryside bouquets throughout the summer.

Planting and care
Sow 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost, in a seed tray. Use a good quality compost. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling compost on top or vermiculite, lightly press down and water generously with a fine rain. Place your seed tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 15°C to 20°C. Reduce the temperature slightly at night.
Growth is fast. Once the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, transplant them into pots. 15 days before their final planting, start gradually acclimatising them to the outdoor temperature.
By the end of May, the temperature will be warm enough in the garden to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Space your plants 30 to 40 cm apart.
Remove faded flowers to promote flowering quality.
Direct sowing in place is possible once the risk of frost has passed.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
