How to Grow and Care for Tansies
Feedback
Tansies genus, belonging to the daisy family, comprises versatile, perennial plants that prefer full sun to partial shade. A well-drained, moderately fertile soil with adequate moisture suffices their needs. They can handle cool to warm temperatures, but excessive heat may leave them wilted. Common challenges include the risk of aphids, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. Seasonally, tansies species need protection from harsh winters and may need to be covered or mulched. Regular pruning post spring bloom promotes better growth during summer.

8 most common species：
Feverfew
The feverfew herb has been used in traditional and folk medicine to treat a wide range of medical issues. This flowering plant from Eurasia is also grown as an ornamental. Because the flower heads are long-lasting, they make excellent cut flowers and can also be used in dried floral arrangements. This plant tends to draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Common tansy
Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a plant native to Europe and Asia. The common tansy has been introduced in other global regions and is sometimes considered to be an invasive species. The common tansy can be used as a substitute for sage.
Pyrethrum
Pyrethrum (Tanacetum coccineum) is a flowering plant native to southwestern Asia. Pyrethrum is also commonly referred to as the painted daisy. This species attracts butterflies and tolerates the presence of deer.
Corymb-flower tansy
The species is a perennial, herbaceous plant that usually reaches stature heights between 50 and 1 m. The stem grows upright and is scattered hairy. The whole plant has few flavors. The leaves consist of three to seven pairs of elongated, double-cut leaflets.
Lake huron tansy
Lake huron tansy is a perennial herb with yellow flowers often found in wetlands in North America. It can grow quite tall and is pretty easy to identify in the field. The flowers have a camphor-like scent that develops during the summer and the fall.
Dalmatian pellitory
Dalmatian pellitory is found in sunny meadows, grasslands, and other disturbed areas, and produces flowers in the summer. The dried flower buds are used to create a common insecticide. For this reason, it is a popular garden plant, but it may cause allergic reactions in some people.
Rayed tansy
Rayed tansy's(Tanacetum macrophyllum) genus name, Tanacetum, comes from the Greek word for 'long-lasting', given because of this plant's extensive blooming period. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant, primarily used in cottage gardens. Rayed tansy and Achillea grandifolia are mixed up often; however, the latter is much smaller.
Costmary
Costmary (Tanacetum balsamita) is believed to have originated near the Mediterranean. This aromatic herb releases a sweet fragrance reminiscent of eucalyptus. Plant it as an attractive addition to ornamental borders and herb gardens. Though not harmful to humans, costmary is poisonous to dogs and cats.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
