Tansy is grown for its lovely golden yellow flowers and for its medicinal uses. The button-like flowers are held in a flat umbel, up to 100cm tall, from July to September. They are loved by bees and butterflies, but can also be a great companion plant in the vegetable garden, repelling unwanted insects with their frangrant leaves. When dried, they can be used inside as a natural bug-repellent in the house. Tansy also makes a nice, long lasting cut-flower.
Tanacetum vulgare is an excellent companion plant for reducing pest infestations, particularly for roses, raspberries, grapes, and various vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and kale. It acts as a powerful deterrent against pests like aphids, cucumber beetles, and cabbage worms, while attracting beneficial hoverflies and bees
Tansy is easy to grow and likes most soil types in sun.
