Silver Tansy, White Bouquet Tansy, Snow Daisy
Airy and delicate, Tanacetum niveum (Silver Tansy) is a mounding, multi-stemmed short-lived perennial boasting strongly aromatic gray-green divided foliage and clouds of tiny pure white daisies in dense panicles in late spring and early summer. Individual plants last three years or so, but Silver Tansy self-seeds, maintaining its presence in the garden. Undemanding, extremely pest and disease resistant, it is well-suited to the water-wise sunny border.
