Feverfew (Pyrethrum parthenium) is a traditional medicinal herb that is found in many old gardens and is also occasionally grown for ornament. The plant grows into a small bush up to around 46 cm (18 in) high, with citrus-scented leaves, and is covered by flowers reminiscent of daisies. It spreads rapidly, and it will cover a wide area after a few years.
Feverfew was native to Eurasia; Specifically the Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia, and the Caucasus, but cultivation has spread it around the world and it is now also found in Europe, the Mediterranean, North America, and China.
