Tansy Plug Plants Tanacetum vulgare

Common names include bitter buttons or cow buttons.

Tansy is a striking, hardy perennial that adds both bold beauty and a touch of history to your garden. Known for its bright yellow, button-like flowers and fern-like foliage, tansy is a favourite for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is strongly scented and its aromatic leaves have long been used in traditional remedies and pest control, making it a useful addition to any herb or wildlife-friendly garden.

Tansy thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, and is an easy, low-maintenance plant that tolerates poor soil and dry conditions. Perfect for cottage, herb, or wildflower gardens.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic. 

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
