It is not uncommon to mistake it for chamomile, although once you're familiar with feverfew you'll notice that its growth habit and form is quite different than chamomile. Feverfew will grow multiple upright branches from a tufted mass of root, unlike chamomile which is low-growing. Feverfew produces a great greenish yellow dye from the leaves and stems in wool mordanted with chrome. Growing Feverfew is easy and requires little care once established. It prefers full sun but tolerates a little shade. Feverfew can be divided from root cuttings in the early spring.

Anyone who loves a well stocked spice cupboard will want this incredible plant in their garden. Every part of the Spicebush is intensely aromatic!  The leaves have a spicy fragrance when crushed and can be used fresh in hot or iced tea. The twigs can be simmered in water for a warming tea year round.  In Fall, the berries can be collected and dried to use as a culinary spice, which can be used in place of allspice in sweet and savory dishes - it makes a scrumptious spice cake! The peppery taste of Spicebush berries is also fabulous in meat rubs and marinades.  Don’t waste any time gathering the bright red berries - birds quickly snap up this high-fat food source! Spicebush attracts interesting visitors in summer, too, such as the larva of the spicebush swallowtail butterfly, which feeds on the leaves.  Spicebush is a lovely, native woodland shrub that works well in a border, at the edge of a forest, or in naturalized areas. It prefers moist locations in part to full sun. It grows to ten feet with pretty, teardrop shaped leaves. Clusters of tiny, perfumed, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early Spring before foliage appears. These flowers give way to bright red drupes in fall, while the leaves turn a yellow-bronze hue.  Female plants need a male pollinator to set fruit. Male shrubs have larger, showier flowers than female ones.
