- Soil requirements: Feverfew prefers well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be moderately fertile and can be sandy or loamy.
- Sunlight needs: Feverfew thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth.
- Watering requirements: Feverfew needs moderate watering. Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the winter months.
- Planting season: The best time to plant feverfew seeds is in the spring after the last frost or in the fall. In mild climates, fall planting is also an option.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Space the seeds about 12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Feverfew seeds typically germinate within 10 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Feverfew plants usually reach maturity in about 70 to 90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest feverfew is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. This helps preserve the essential oils in the leaves and flowers.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems. Harvest the leaves and flowers when they are fully open. Store the harvested parts in a cool, dry place or dry them for later use. Feverfew can be used fresh or dried in teas, tinctures, and other herbal preparations.
