Tanacetum vulgare ‘Isla Gold’

If you’re looking for an extraordinary hardy foliage plant with loads of garden appeal, Golden Tansy is just for you.  This perennial is lavishly decked-out with fern-like, finely-cut bright yellow foliage.  It holds its color well through the heat of summer and produces yellow rayless daisies in the fall.  Its cultivar name, ‘Isla Gold’, comes from the place it was discovered, the now-closed Isla Nursery in Cambridgeshire, UK.  This perennial contrasts beautifully with the green leaves of grasses, plants with blue or purple foliage, or pretty much anything in the garden.
