In Aurora you can figure out when to plant feverfew by looking at the USDA zone info.

Feverfew can survive in some cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant feverfew in Aurora is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant feverfew and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your feverfew may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your feverfew indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
