To all the admirers of the huge feverfew in my last post, especially Digital Flower, Pam, Layanee, and Bonnie, it turns out it was a clump of three plants. The flowers were looking brown and tatty, but I could see new growth breaking out from the stems at the base, so I decided to cut it (them) down. That’s how I discovered it was actually three plants. I tried to check for that before I made my claim of biggest and bestest, but obviously I didn’t check thoroughly enough.
Now I have to trim the grass that the feverfew was hanging over.
The feverfew must have put on a spectacular show. By fall, there will probably be another one!
Well, the little bugger, who was it trying to kid?
Yes, Layanee, it self-sows moderately. I have had the golden-leaved form and a double form, but this is the only one that shows up again.
One plant or three, it was still wonderful! Does that re-seed for you?
I’m cutting back today too–just taking a quick break to get rehydrated.
I’ve called the Guinness World Record people and told them not to come after all. )Just kidding! ;-0)
And isn’t that how it goes? One garden chore done leads to something else to do in the garden
