Feverfew - I think!

Post: # 202254Post Susiwaa »

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, wasn't sure if it should go in herbs or health!

So, I appear to have an invasion of what I think is feverfew.

It started as a rather unsuccessful plant in a pot a few years ago, and I thought it had died off. But not there is masses of it all over the place! Coming out of wee cracks in the slabs and under windows.

if it is feverfew (shall try for a pic later) then how can I use it? would anyone like some of it? can I control it now it seems to have seeded all over the place?

It's very pretty looking right now with all the lovely flowers but more flowers = more seed I guess!

cheers!

It likes to self seed. :lol: I used to have it in my last garden and am toying with the idea of getting some seed and starting again in this garden, so much stuff self seeds all over the place a few (hundred :iconbiggrin: ) feverfews won't make any difference and it is pretty. :lol:

Feverfew has a very distinctive smell, not sure how to describe it on here :scratch: :scratch:
