Yellow Tansy Tanacetum Vulgare Perennial Seeds

Description

Tanacetum vulgare or ‘Tansy’ is a native, perennial member of the daisy family. In a daisy what appears to be a flower is in fact a tight head of tiny yellow flowers known as the floral disc surrounded by white petal like structures called ray florets. In tansies the ray florets are absent giving the flower heads a button like appearance. These flower heads are arranged in flat-topped clusters where the 50-150cm tall stem branches towards its top. The stem its self is erect, stout and often tinged red and arranged alternately up the stem are finely divided almost fern like leaves. Both leaves and flowers are aromatic. Tansy is a late flowering plant in bloom throughout August and September.
