Tansy Seeds - Flower Plant for Home Gardens

Tansy seeds produce hardy, perennial plants with upright, clump-forming growth and finely divided, fern-like foliage. These plants are well suited for garden borders, beds, and naturalized plantings, where they establish reliably and provide structural interest. Tansy grows best in full sun and adapts to a range of well-drained soils, including moderately low-fertility conditions. Once established, it tolerates dry periods and requires minimal maintenance, making it suitable for low-input landscapes.
