Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.) is a perennial flower/herb, with a very full growth habit - it can grow to 5' or taller, and 5' or so in diameter.

Also known as common tansy and garden tansy Herbaceous perennial, Tansy will flower from mid to late summer, covered with small bright yellow button-like flowers. It prefers full sun and well drained soil. Tansy is used in companion planting to repel insects, including flies and fleas.

Tansy (Tanacetum Vulgare) - Start Tansy seeds and grow the commonly known plant Golden Buttons or Common Tansy. Common Tansy herb plants grow to two to three feet tall with small yellow button-like flowers. The Tansy leaves are used dry to make dyes and many forms of insect repellents. This is an herb plant grown from herb seeds that you DO NOT eat. You can harvest Tansy leaves anytime. For best quality, always harvest in the morning after the dew has dried. You can pick the flowers in the afternoon from midsummer to fall when they are almost fully open. Don't use Tansy in cooking, even though you may find older recipes that may include it. Tansy herb may cause illness when taken internally.
