Tanacetum haradjanii

Tanacetum haradjanii, commonly known as Persian-Tansy, is a delightful plant species native to the Caucasus mountains. It is an evergreen shrub with thin, linear, bright green leaves and clusters of small, bright yellow flowers that show their beauty from early spring to late summer. It grows to a height of 0.3-0.6m and an upright spread of 0.5-2m. Its flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. It requires a sunny position in moderately moist and well-drained soil. Tanacetum haradjanii is an excellent addition to flowerbeds, and medicinal uses include the North American Indian practice of using it as a tonic for the digestive system.

watering

Water thoroughly weekly when Tanacetum plants are actively growing. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but never allow it to become bone dry. Once flowering has finished in late summer, reduce watering to every other week. Do not water Tanacetum plants in the winter—they are dormant at this time and too much moisture can cause root rot.

sunlight

Tanacetum haradjanii, or Caucasian tansy, is a flowering plant species native to the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. This species prefers full sun and flourished in sunny conditions. During the spring and summer months, ensure that Tanacetum haradjanii gets 8-12 hours of direct sunlight per day. In the fall and winter, ensure it gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Additionally, avoid shady locations with dappled sunlight or intermittent shade, which can inhibit the plant’s growth.

pruning

Tanacetum (Tanacetum haradjanii) should be pruned every spring or early summer, when new growth begins. Pruning should calm the large plant down and keep it from spreading. Trim off any dead flowers and remove any unneeded branches. This will encourage the plant to develop a dense shape and keep it looking full. To encourage flowering, pinch off the tips of the branches in late summer once bloom begins to fade. Prune only a small amount of the plant each year so as to not overwhelm or damage it.
