About Bushy seaside tansy
Bushy seaside tansy is a wonderful native plant that brings life to any sunny spot in your yard. This tough little subshrub produces cheerful yellow flowers that bloom for months, attracting bees and butterflies when they need food most. The flowers are followed by interesting seed heads that birds enjoy. Even when it's not flowering, the plant's silvery-green foliage adds texture and beauty to your garden. It's a real workhorse that earns its place year after year.
Growing bushy seaside tansy is refreshingly simple. It loves full sun and sandy or well-draining soil, so plant it and let it do its thing. Once established, it needs very little water or fussing. This perennial comes back reliably every season, asking almost nothing of you in return. If you're looking for a native plant that's beautiful, easy, and good for wildlife, this one checks every box.
