Fernleaf Tansy
Tanacetum vulgare var. crispum
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: This perennial member of the sunflower family is grown mostly for fern-like leaves with curled margins. It produces button-like yellow flowers in the summer that, while not the main reason for growing this tansy, are an added benefit. It is said to have medicinal qualities and is possibly repellant to mosquitoes.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
