Also referred to as Tanacetum Parthenium. A short lived bushy, aromatic, woody based perennial, often grown as an annual. Clusters of daisy like flower heads are produced in summer and continue blooming right until hard frost in fall. Flowers can be used for a tea to help headaches. For migraine sufferers chewing one leaf a day can help prevent occurance of migraines. I find it does work, even after a headache has begun- probably the awful taste takes your mind off the headache! Beautiful in borders or mass plantings. Foliage is attractive about 8 months of the year.
