Thanks to its strong aromatic flavour, many consider Tansy to be useful only as a natural insect repellent; a plant or two in the kitchen will reduce the number of flies who will visit!

Around the house it is probably better to tie and hang bouquets of dried flowers or foliage or both ; these will not only keep flies away but also ants, and even moths so perfect for the clothes cupboard. But with a flavour similar to Rosemary it is also a versatile kitchen herb that can be used with sweet and savoury dishes alike.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

Illustrations by Kat Whelan Website by Goldhosts. Tansy or Tanacetum vulgare, is a decorative and pungent hardy perennial that was once important medicinally but is now seldom used. Tansy can grow to a height of cm in dry, stony soil and a sunny site, Tansy will produce a beautiful display of finely divided compound leaves which are a rich green, and clusters of bright yellow button-like flowers held above on long stems in late summer July-Sept.

Tansy is also attractive to bees and butterflies as it is a good source of nectar, so is a welcome addition in the herbaceous border as well as the herb garden. Tansy is an easy-going plant that thrives, in most positions except where very wet it likes good drainage, it makes an excellent container plant when grown in a large pot and kept well-watered in summer.

It can self-seed or be divided in late Spring or Autumn it can spread quite vigorously but can be controlled by pulling up unwanted rhizomes. Tansy has a strong aromatic flavour, similar to Rosemary and therefore can be used with meat like rosemary. The leaves can also be stewed with rhubarb or used to flavour sausages, omlettes, or stuffing.

Many consider Tansy to be useful as a natural insect repellent, the leaves and flowers can be dried and hung in bouquets to ward flies out of the kitchen and moths out of the clothes cupboard! Can also be used in a pot-pourri for the same purpose. Subscribe to our newsletter for special offers, tips on growing and caring for your herbs, fabulous herb recipes, upcoming shows and more!
