Hi Dara,
Its a midsize bush flowering to 4 feet or so. It flowers in early summer and will go for another flowering stint if you cut it back. Richo

Richo Cech –
Hi Cally, yes, thank you for asking, we have conserved the original single-flowered type that has tested consistently better than other cultivars for the parthenolide marker. You are in the right place! richo

Sara –
We grow veg every year, but i want to start an herb garden. There are 100 seeds in each pack that I’ve look at so far. If I don’t use them all can I put the left over seed in the freezer for next year? I do this with vegetable seed

Hi Sara, The seeds are very small, so you may find it easier to plant them all. I generally advise people to keep leftover seeds in the paper packaging and put in a sealed glass jar in the fridge. They will last at least 3 years that way.

Easy to start. Beautiful mounding little daisy type flower that the bees like. Nice to spread around the landscaping. Fully winter hardy. Reseeds itself just a bit.
