Feverfew

Feverfew is one of my favorite plants to dry because it self-seeds and lasts a long time in my garden. Typically, around early July, I gather what remains in the garden, naturally drying in the summer heat, and sprinkle the seeds where I want them for next year. 

For drying, I wait for a warm day to cut bunches and tie them. These bundles are then hung in my hot, dark shed to dry for about a week. I use the dried feverfew for bouquets, craft projects, or tea-making.
