Tansy

Tansy is a fast-growing hardy perennial that thrives on neglect and reduces your need for pest repellent chemicals in the garden. Tall and narrow with fern-like foliage topped with clusters of yellow button flowers in summer, tansy dies back down to the ground in autumn, ready to reshoot again in spring.

Incredibly hardy and easy to grow, tansy produces camphor scented foliage to repel pests and bright yellow button flowers to attract pollinators. Plant in cottage gardens or near your vegie patch to create a haven for good bugs.

Also known as “Bitter Buttons” and “Golden Buttons”.
