Mipii, really? I would love that!

The feverfew I have is a double. I germinated it once, and it has come back every year (and brought friends). If you have too much, you just tear it out. It\'s so flexible that I dig it up and move it to bare spots. The great thing is that, unlike some plants (look out for nicotiana alata and climbing nasturtiums!) it doesn\'t kill other plants with a great big rootball! It just sparkles. In front of a dark backdrop (viburnum dentatum in the first picture) it lights things up.

Peppered through a bed in full sunlight (second pic).

Adding pep to a once blooming rose (third pic).

Running around with lots of little plants (fourth pic).

It\'s even charming in leaf (fifth pic). That\'s in May.

And it blooms all season. You can cut it back or just pull it out. Since it drops seed, the few patches that need pulling out get replaced.

And it\'s hardy in zone 5a.

Try just throwing some seed out there. I haven\'t actually germinated it indoors in about five years.
