Feverfew, a traditional feature in Victorian gardens and a herbal remedy with a centuries-old history, is a dependable and relatively drought-tolerant plant. It boasts masses of small white flowers atop fragrant, fern-like foliage. The blooms have the added benefit of attracting beneficial insects and make excellent choices for fresh-cut or dried flower arrangements. With a penchant for prolific self-seeding, allow these "volunteers" to adorn your garden, enhancing its beauty while attracting essential pollinators.
