  • Feverfew - What to do?

    Hi Guys,
    A few bit broke off the plant outside and I would like to "Save" them if possible.

    I have some rooting gel and was going to give them a quick dip and pot them up.

    Does anyone know a better way?

    TIA

    Feverfew is fairly tough. I would reduce the leafy growth by at least half, on the right hand piece anyway, because that top will wilt, then just shove the bits in a pot or in the ground, and keep well watered until it they start to make new growth again.

    This is what I would do. Cut down to the red line - plant deep to the blue line. Water well.

      Or wait a year, by which time you'll be ripping out its ruddy seedlings from all over the garden!

        I wouldn't worry to much so long as you have a plant to flower in a year or so you will be pulling them up as weeds, it seeds everywhere!

              I like feverfew, I have the semi-double one. The foliage is decorative and the flowers are attractive. It seeds everywhere, so I pull up most of it and keep or move bits in good spots.
