feverfew?

Just want to double check that this is feverfew before I start using it. I've just cut it back and it's in it's second flush. The leaves are very aromatic. Can't quite put my finger on it, but sort of smells like sage and anaseed medicine.

Aqui I've just gone through both of my "big" herb books & your picture does look just like the Feverfew ones in them...

But can't find mention in Culpepers  Confused

Looks like it Aqui and your description of the smell sounds like it. Apparently bees hate the smell and tend not attend gardens that have it, what sort of bee population do you have?

Yup, that certainly looks like it.  My OH can't stand the smell either - maybe he was a bee in a previous life  Laughing

we have loads of bees! there are bumblers nesting in the compost, the toad flax, lavendar, calendula, spirea and loads more are always buzzing. Even saw a couple of honey bees recently. B) I shall have to remember not to plant bee plants near it.
