Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant of the aster family, native to temperate Europe and Asia.
It is also known as common tansy, bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons.
Tansy is a flowering herbaceous plant with finely divided compound leaves and yellow, button-like flowers. It has a stout, somewhat reddish, erect stem, usually smooth, 50–150 cm (20–59 in) tall, and branching near the top.
The leaves are alternate, 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) long and are pinnately lobed, divided almost to the center into about seven pairs of segments, or lobes, which are again divided into smaller lobes having saw-toothed edges, giving the leaf a somewhat fernlike appearance.
The roundish, flat-topped, button-like, yellow flower heads are produced in terminal clusters from mid-to-late summer. The scent is similar to that of camphor with hints of rosemary.
The leaves and flowers are toxic if consumed in large quantities; the volatile oil contains toxic compounds including thujone, which can cause convulsions and liver and brain damage.
Some insects, notably the tansy beetle Chrysolina graminis, have resistance to the toxins and subsist almost exclusively on the plant.
In England, tansy is commonly placed on window sills or near doorways to repel flies. Irish folklore says that bathing in a solution of tansy and salts can cure joint pain. This herb also goes by the name of bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons.

Not So Tansy :(

Not only did I follow the planting instructions exactly as they were listed, but I also made some fail-safes. I planted most of them directly in the ground and barely covered as expected. I also planted some in 4 pots outdoors. As a last resort, I also planted some in small planters indoors. As mentioned, I followed the instructions exactly as they were listed. One month later? Not a single plant/sprout/sign of life from ANY of the planting locations...even indoors. Almost convinced that I was sent pencil shavings. Very disappointed :(

Tansy

I am looking forward to planting the seeds soon. I really appreciate that you carry the seeds, they were hard to find at a good price. I like your prices and service. I received my complete order in a very timely manner. :) Thanks again!

Obnoxious Weed

I checked out recommends after I bought these seeds. Found out in the northwest this is a weed, that spreads by underground roots. Sheds many seeds and root grow new plants and keeps taking over if not kept in check! Think of crabgrass...once you get it, it is hard to get rid of.

Vegetable seeds

I can't say too much, some seeds were recently planted, so too soon to say. But pumpkin plants are taking over the garden they are so huge. Green bean plants are growing & climbing, but too soon for beans. Carrots, squash & cucumbers plants are also growing but no produce yet! Not much luck with herbs :(
