FEVERFEW, WHOSE LITTLE FLOWERS resemble daisies, used to be known as "medieval aspirin". Feverfew tea may still be used for fevers, headaches and arthritis, according to the National Institutes of Health. It may also be used on the skin, for toothache, or as an antiseptic or insecticide. Feverfew is in the chrysanthemum family. It thrives in sun and is drought-tolerant. Find it in our seed library's heirloom collection.
