Notes
'White Pompon' feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium 'White Pompon') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a clumping mound of white pompon blooms from early to late summer, with some flowers into early autumn. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the fragrant flowers. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Gaura, Balloon flower, Japanese forest grass, and Ornamental onion.
