Feverfew ‘Magic Lime Green’
Tanacetum parthenium
Description
This variety’s name is misleading because the flowers are actually a soft creamy yellow—the color of fresh buttermilk. Sprays of miniature, button-like blooms have quill-like petals encircling fuzzy, domed golden centers. They look just like miniature chrysanthemums or little suns. Plants have a branching habit and make a wonderful bouquet filler.

Days to maturity: 100 to 110 days
