      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

      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

  2. Question

    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.

    Pretty and Easy

    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.
