Mine is neither vulgare or niveum. It's the one with minimal yellow. It's feverfew 'Tetra strain' which is a tetraploid. Which I understand to mean 4 sets of chromosomes. The result is the elimination of most of the yellow, which is what I like about it. I believe from what I have read that it is a tetraploid form of parthenium.

Tetraploidy in lilies leads to stronger stems and all kinds of other goodies. They did the same thing to basic feverfew. Mine spreads, but it's not invasive.
