Notes : Tansy is an easy plant to grow. It tends to spread and dies back in winter. Not fussy about soil but likes a sunny exposure. Propagation is by division or seeds. The rooted side shoot can be removed in spring and planted in new ground 60 centimetres apart. Grows easily from seed and if conditions are right, it will seed itself or send out runners. Grows up to 90 centimetres, including its flowering head comprising several clusters of small, yellow, button-like flowers. Beneficial when added to compost, as it contains potassium. Do plant Tansy between Peach trees to keep fruitfly and fruit moths away.
