Tanacetum parthenium Tetra Eva White | Feverfew | Pelleted

Beautiful double white feverfew with masses of small, pompon-like flowers – an exceptional filler for romantic and natural-style bouquets.

Tanacetum parthenium 'Tetra Eva White' is a florist-quality feverfew variety producing an abundance of charming fully double, creamy-white to pure white flowers on strong, well-branched stems. The small, rounded blooms create a soft, cloud-like effect and add wonderful texture and volume to bouquets.

Unlike the classic daisy-shaped feverfew varieties with prominent yellow centres, Tetra Eva White is grown for its double white flowers, giving it a refined and elegant appearance. Its neutral colour makes it extremely versatile in floral design and particularly beautiful in wedding work, cottage-style bouquets and seasonal arrangements.

The branching habit produces multiple flowering stems and an abundance of blooms, making this variety an excellent choice for both professional flower farmers and home cutting gardens.

The pelleted seeds are easier to handle and sow individually, making them particularly convenient for sowing into plug trays.

Sowing Instructions

Transplanting – Recommended

Sow approximately 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost.

Because Tanacetum requires light for germination, surface sow the pelleted seeds and do not cover them with soil. Gently press the pellets onto the surface of moist seed-starting compost.

Maintain a temperature of approximately 18–21°C during germination.

Keep the growing medium evenly moist while the pellets dissolve and the seeds germinate. Avoid allowing the surface to dry completely during this stage.

Once seedlings are established, provide plenty of light and good air circulation.

Transplant outdoors after hardening off when the plants are well established and severe frost risk has passed.

Growing & Care

Plant Tetra Eva White in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Regular harvesting encourages continued flower production. After the first major flush of flowers, plants can be cut back significantly to encourage fresh growth and a second flush later in the season.

For longer, straighter stems, plants can be grown relatively closely together in a dedicated cut flower bed. Support netting may be useful in exposed or windy locations.

Avoid consistently waterlogged soil.

Autumn Sowing & Overwintering

Feverfew is relatively cold tolerant and can also be grown as an overwintered crop in suitable climates.

Sow in late summer to early autumn for overwintering and earlier flowers the following spring.

Young plants can tolerate cool conditions, although additional protection with fleece, low tunnels or an unheated greenhouse may be beneficial in regions with severe winters.

Overwintered plants generally produce earlier flowers and strong stems, making this technique particularly valuable for cut flower growers.

Harvesting

Harvest when the flower clusters are well developed and most of the flowers are fully open.

Avoid harvesting when the flowers are still tightly closed, as immature stems may not hydrate as effectively after cutting.

Cut stems deeply into the plant to encourage fresh basal growth and future flowering stems.

Place freshly harvested stems immediately into clean water.

Vase Life

With proper harvesting and conditioning, feverfew typically offers a vase life of approximately 7–10 days.

Remove foliage that would sit below the water line and refresh the vase water regularly for the best performance.
