Organic Insecticidal Herb Plants Now Available

07/07/2009
Are you worried about using chemical insecticides on your garden? Do you want to control pests in a safe, organic way? We have just the herb you have been looking for!

We currently have a limited supply of pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) plants available for sale. Closely related to tansy and feverfew, the dried flowers of these hardy plants make an excellent organic insecticide for the home garden. Native to southeastern Europe, these plants are hardy in zones 4-9, and can grow up to three feet tall. Plant in a sunny, dry location, and pyrethrum will bloom throughout the summer with white daisy like flowers, which form a striking contrast with the gray-green foliage.
