A Classic Cottage Garden Favourite — Fully Double White Pompom Blooms on Elegant Stems

Matricaria 'Tetra' is a superior double-flowered feverfew producing an abundance of fully double, pompom-like white flowers on upright stems growing to around 60cm tall. The flowers are fully double with tightly packed white petals forming a neat, rounded bloom with a small, neat yellow-green centre — a lush, refined take on the classic feverfew flower that is highly sought after by florists and cottage gardeners alike. The foliage is the classic finely cut, aromatic feverfew leaf in fresh bright green, and the plants are prolific and long-flowering, producing stems in abundance over a long season. An essential cut flower for cottage-style posies and arrangements, and a wonderful border plant in its own right. Easy to grow and endlessly rewarding.

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow Matricaria 'Tetra' in trays in late winter to spring onto moist seed-raising mix; press seeds lightly onto the surface as they need light to germinate. Transplant seedlings to 30cm apart in a sunny position with well-drained soil. 'Tetra' is a reliable performer across most NZ regions and will often self-seed gently around the garden. Deadhead or cut regularly to encourage continued flowering throughout the season — it responds very well to cutting and will reward you with a continuous supply of stems. Plants may overwinter in mild NZ climates, returning the following season.
