Tanacetum parthenium

Perennials · Planned variety

Meet your green friend.

Airy sprays of small white daisies with yellow centres make a useful garden flower and bouquet filler.

A space where it can thrive

Grow outdoors in a position suited to the plant. Containers need drainage and closer moisture checks than garden beds.

Ask about availability

Availability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine

Light

Full sun to partial shade.

Watering

Keep new plants moist; established plants tolerate short dry spells.

Soil & drainage

Well-drained soil; use container potting mix in pots.

Fertilizer

Feed only as needed during active growth, following the fertilizer label.

Outdoor hardiness

NC State lists USDA zones 5–8. Confirm local suitability; USDA and Canadian zone systems differ.

Humidity

Allow air to circulate between plants. Water the soil rather than wetting foliage.

Through the seasons

Cut faded stems before seed matures to limit self-sowing. Remove winter-damaged foliage in spring.

When your plant needs help

  • Can self-seed freely.
  • Monitor for spider mites.

Pets & little ones
