Tanacetum vulgare 'Isla Gold' 

Other Names:  Gold Leaf Tansy, Golden Tansy

Growing in an upright arching clump to about 18 inches tall with blooms to 3 feet, and 3 feet wide, Isla Gold Tansy is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and container gardens, or in stunning groupings in larger garden beds and landscape borders. It looks especially nice around rocks, boulders, and garden ponds. A fine addition to rock gardens, perennial gardens, cottage gardens, fern gardens, herb gardens, and xeric gardens (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing:  24 to 30 inches apart for solid groupings; 4 feet or more apart for space between plants

Isla Gold Tansy is easy to grow in moist, well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Five or more hours of sunlight daily is suggested for the brightest foliage color. The foliage will be more golden-yellow with more sun and chartreuse to lime green shades with more shade. Some filtered sun or shade in the afternoon when the sun is most intense in hot summer climates will be appreciated. Constantly soggy or waterlogged soil is problematic. It is drought-tolerant when established but might appreciate occasional supplemental water during extended summer droughts in hot climates. Plant in well-drained soil with the top of the root ball at ground level or slightly above to allow for settling after planting. When planting in containers, choose a pot with a drainage hole(s) at the bottom and use a quality potting soil, potting mix, or a combination of these. It's also a good idea to line the pot's interior with a porous landscape or weed-blocking cloth to prevent the drainage holes from becoming stopped with roots.
