1. tansy

   Tansy is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant native to Europe and Asia. It is from the Asteraceae family and its scientific name is Tanacetum vulgare. Tansy has a clump-forming habit with dense, button-like, yellow flowers and aromatic, fern-like foliage. It has been used historically for medicinal purposes but due to its toxic properties, it's mostly grown as an ornamental plant now. It may also be used as a companion plant in gardens due to its ability to repel insects.
