I love the color of Golden Feverfew. Even when it is not in bloom, it brightens up an area. It tends to be evergreen here in zone 5a. My information says it is hardy in zones 4-10. Light aids germination of seeds.

I like the yellow-green, ferny foliage of this plant. It makes a nice contrast in the garden. I have grown this in full shade. It doesn't bloom in the shade but the foliage is nice. It will reseed. It is easy to remove the seedlings.
