Tanacetum parthenium - Double White Feverfew - Matricaria Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum (Matricaria) ‘Double White Feverfew’ is a flower arranger’s dream, producing masses of delightful little pale yellow blooms that look like miniature snowballs. Each densely packed, button-shaped flower has a soft cream-yellow centre, giving the display a warm, natural look rather than a stark white finish.
The plants develop strong, upright, branching stems, carrying flowers in abundance above fresh green foliage. Reaching around 70-90cm tall, they have plenty of presence in a cutting patch while remaining light and airy enough to mingle beautifully with other flowers.
Where ‘Double White Feverfew ’ really shines is in the vase. The numerous small blooms are superb for filling out bouquets, adding texture between larger flowers without overwhelming them, and the stems have been specifically selected for good post-harvest performance.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.

Despite often being sold under the familiar names Chrysanthemum or Matricaria, ‘Double White Feverfew’ is botanically Tanacetum parthenium, better known as feverfew. The Vegmo series was developed with professional cut-flower production in mind, and ‘Double White’ combines those distinctive little pompon flowers with the strong stems and good vase life that florists look for in a bouquet filler.
Grow ‘Double White Feverfew’ in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep plants regularly watered during active growth, particularly during dry weather, but avoid leaving the roots in waterlogged ground. A regular liquid feed can help support the production of its many flowering stems. Cutting stems as the flowers develop encourages you to make the most of the display, while successive sowings can provide a longer supply of flowers for the garden and vase. Its upright, branching growth makes it particularly well suited to a dedicated cutting garden.
