How to identify Silver tansy (Tanacetum niveum)
Silver tansy exhibits a compact growth habit, with its small, low-lying gray foliage forming a distinct ground cover. Its foliage provides a striking contrast to the pure white daisy-like flowers that bloom atop stems reaching up to 30 inches (76 cm) tall. The flowers, notable for their central disc florets surrounded by white ray florets, make silver tansy an attractive addition to gardens, also serving well as a cut flower. It thrives best in well-drained to heavy soils and prefers a position in full sun to light shade.
