Feverfew
The Feverfew, 'Tanacetum (Chrysanthemum) parthenium', displays charming clusters of small daisy-like flowers on aromatic bushy plants. The Feverfew has a long history as an herbal remedy and it is popular in Victorian gardens. Feverfew is a reliable, unfussy plant with masses of small white flowers on strong-scented ferny yellow-green foliage. In a cottage style garden, use Feverfew as a long blooming filler between other old-fashioned flowers such as roses. It is also know as Featherfew, Composite, Bachelor's or Bride's Button and Midsummer Daisy. Plant in the early spring when the soil is cool or in late fall. Feverfew prefers well drained soils and moderate to low water conditions. Do not over water. Plant in full sun and deadhead regularly if you do not want to establish volunteer seeds for next year. ... get more information
Sweet Pea - America The Sweet Pea America, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very old heirloom sweet pea traced back to 1896. The blooming period depends partially upon the weather because the plants usually stop blooming once the weather warms up. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea America is very early planting. The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom.
