TANSY, live plant, perennial, tall growing

Tansy(Tanacetum vulgare). Zone4-9 Traditionally, it was used to flavor tansy pudding in the spring, but it does contain compounds that can damage the liver so perhaps that's not a good idea. Tansy is supposed to repel ants and cockroaches from around baseboards, counters, etc. In the garden, I always see it covered with ants. You decide whether or not it works. Keep in mind when you plant this, that it does spread alot. Not only do the clumps get larger every year, it profusely seeds as well. Keep it from getting into pastures or hay fields because it causes abortion in pregnant livestock. Tansy will do ok in most soils and it prefers full sun and water when dry. Will grow to 5' tall.
