Tansy is an appealing scented British wildflower from the daisy family. Plants have fern-like leaves and grow sturdy spikes of small yellow buttonhead flowers from July to September. These are great informal border or wildflower plants for late summer colour, growing to a height of 60-100cm. Plants are highly scented and are traditional medicines and effective insect repellents.
Tansy grows best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. They tolerate exposed gardens and are generally untroubled by pests.
