Feverfew is an herb. The leaves are used by herbalists to make medicine. It is also a very ornamental perennial.
Feverfew has many uses, including preventing migraine headaches in some people.
Feverfew is also said to be effective for fever, irregular menstrual periods, arthritis, a skin disorder called psoriasis, allergies, asthma, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, and nausea and vomiting.
Some people use feverfew for difficulty getting pregnant or fathering a child (infertility). It is also used for “tired blood” (anemia), cancer, common cold, earache, liver disease, prevention of miscarriage, muscular tension, bone disorders, swollen feet, diarrhea, upset stomach and intestinal gas. Feverfew is sometimes applied directly to the gums for toothaches or to the skin to kill germs.

In late spring, plants produce 6-8 inch flowering spikes with an abundance of 2-lipped, tubular lavender-blue flowers over an extended time making this plant a useful addition to the sunny border. The small crinkly green-grey leaves are short growing, aromatic and lightly toothed.
‘Table Mountain’, has 1-2” bright single fuchsia daisy like colored blooms that cover the plant most of the summer.
The foliage is deep green, almost succulent looking, and extremely shiny. ‘Table Mountain’ is an improvement of the old fashioned Delosperma ‘Coperi’.
Expect a plant spread of 18” and a height of 2-3”. Best suited for a sunny area, with some afternoon shade, with well- drained soil. It prefers dry and sandy soil and does not like wet soil, especially in the winter.
Hot conditions keep the flowers blooming most of the summer, and it requires little to no care.
This will look great used as a ground cover in a rock garden, in front of a perennial border, and as an erosion prevention on sloped grounds.
Can also be used on hard to grow areas in the sun garden as they have little water requirements, yet fill in very quickly.
Popular as a dependable evergreen ground cover for shade and sun in most areas of the USA. ‘Caitlin’s Giant’ is a larger leafed ajuga with purple and green foliage with a ruffled edge. It is more tolerant of soil types than normal ajuga, and is actually quite drought tolerant once established. It performs equally well in sun or shade, and is a vigorous spreader, choking out weeds. Blue flower spikes appear in April through May. The plant grows 8- 10 inches tall and spreads up to 3 feet. It makes an excellent groundcover in shade or sun, but will not tolerate foot traffic well. Use stepping stones for pathways. Flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
An upright Sedum that is more compact and shorter than Autumn Joy. As a plus, if doesn’t “fall apart” in the center.
Forms a low, rounded mound in spring, growing to just under 1’ tall by summer. Light green leaves become covered in a dome of bubblegum pink flowers followed by pretty seed heads.
This very tough late summer through fall blooming perennial has become a new favorite for both its beauty and ease of maintenance. The white margins on the green leaves resemble frost. Really an eye catcher and sure to raise conversation by those who see it!
