Comments (12)Kim, your climate is so little like mine, I don't think production or sun/shade needs are going to be even slightly similar. Here, it absolutely has to have full sun or it gets too floppy reaching out for the sun (and yes, I use support). We have very cold nights here, so everything grows much more slowly than in a warm-nights climate. Add our ultra-short season, and the plants just don't get very big the first year. First year production here is so poor as to be almost useless, but second year is unbelievable. HOWEVER: many plants (delphinium and "annual" rudbeckia also come to mind, but there are probably more) grown as annuals in Texas have very little production in their first year here and only become useful the second year. Those same plants tend to "melt out" in the Texas heat and are therefore strictly annuals there, whereas they are only useful as biennials here. And many plants that need absolute full sun here need some shade in more southerly climates. I didn't want to ignore your question, but my experience probably just isn't relevant to you. Trish's climate has warm nights, at least, and her season is longer than mine, so any answer she gives is probably more useful to you. Jeanne...See MoreWANTED: Double-Flowered Feverfew
Comments (4)Oh! That would be wonderful! I even saw them talking about this plant on "Garden Time" yesterday. It sounds like it wouldn't be as "invasive" as Wiki makes it sound. :) Thanks so much. I hope to hear from you again. You can email me directly if you'd like! Diana...See MoreFeverfew
Comments (5)It tends to die whenever it wants though it usually that is some time after blooming and setting seed. Some people hate feverfew for its ability to reseed and not respect the bounds in which they want to have it. Those tend to be folks with proper, fussy little gardens. I'm not one of those, but I've gone "medieval" on the feverfew from time to time when it gets too much. Although I've had some years where it is barely seen, I've never killed it completely. It always comes back. I suspect this year is going to be a year filled with headaches for me since the feverfew is in a very wild and robust state this year after barely being visible at all in last year's gardens. Going to be stressful I think too...the valerian is also in an all time high. Oh boy! %^) FataMorgana...See Morekilngod
