I wintersowed this one 3 years ago and cannot for the life of me remember what it is. Must be a member of the chrysanthemum family. I doesn't have flower petals and the leaves are highly aromatic.
Shown here with daisies.

Does tansy get that tall, Kathleen? This is between 3 to 3.5 feet.

Mine does. It should have an astringent scent to the leaves.

The girls used to put tansy in the ponies' bridles while trail riding==good fly repellant. I found that it worked on midges when walking in Scotland.

Good to know:) This one has never flopped, but has seeded itself about a bit. It was much taller than anticipated, so I moved it about a month ago. It seems to have recovered from the rough treatment it got and is now happily flowering with the shastas.

I think mine flops as it is it part shade and seems to want more sun.

It probably does. It gets some relief from the sun in the late afternoon. Must be a good thing in our heat. I know I need some relief, lol!

Hope that you don't 'flop' however. See list of drinks on the annuals thread.

Rolling on the floor laughing I suppose the only flopping I've done is in front of the soccer tournament...Trying to keep things watered is taxing enough for now. Going to look for those drinks!
