Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is a plant that ideally combines ornamental value with practical garden use. Its characteristic, intense camphor-like scent effectively repels insects such as flies, ants, moths, mosquitoes, and ticks. Thus, tansy is valued as an ecological repellent. Additionally, its orange-yellow flowers look splendid in flower beds, giving them a colorful, natural appearance.

Sowing

It is best to sow tansy seeds directly into the ground in early spring at a depth of 1–2 cm. Optimal temperature and well-prepared soil promote quick germination. However, it is advisable to control the spread of the plant, as it can be invasive.

Location

The plant prefers sunny locations and permeable, rather dry soil. Such conditions enhance the fragrance and promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Cultivation and care

Common tansy is exceptionally easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and advanced gardeners. It is highly resistant to frost and diseases, thus requiring no special care or protection. Periodic control of its spread is recommended to prevent it from dominating other plants in the garden.

Height and flowering

Adult plants reach up to 1.2 m in height, featuring stiff stems and characteristic pinnate leaves. The flowering period occurs from June to August, when the plant becomes covered with intensely colored orange-yellow flowers. After blooming, the flower heads are also perfect for dry bouquets.

Garden uses

Apart from its decorative and insect-repellent functions, tansy is also valuable as an ingredient for natural liquid fertilizers and ecological preparations against plant pests such as aphids and Colorado potato beetles. It is an ideal solution for people who care about a natural, environmentally friendly garden.
