Estimated Native Range
Summary
Tanacetum haradjanii, commonly known as Silver Tansy, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the rocky slopes and alpine regions of Turkey. It typically grows to a height of 0.3-0.5 feet (0.09-0.15 meters) and spreads 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) wide. The plant is characterized by its silvery-gray, fern-like foliage and yellow, button-like flowers that bloom in the summer. The flowers are modest in size but can add a splash of color to the garden. Silver Tansy is particularly noted for its attractive, textured foliage which provides visual interest even when the plant is not in flower.
Silver Tansy is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to thrive in poor, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and as a ground cover in sunny locations. It is also used in borders and as an accent plant for its unique foliage. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate some light shade. It is generally low-maintenance but can benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. There are no widely known cultivars of this species, and it is not typically associated with serious diseases or pests. However, it is important to avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
