The tansy plant is a perennial and spreads by its roots. It can be invasive, so if you wish to add tansy to your herb garden, place it in a pot to keep it in check so it doesn't spread everywhere. A patch of tansy can go for decades if left unchecked. The tansy plant can grow to three feet tall and gets yellow flower heads or flower clusters in August. The leaves are delicate and fine cut. If you live in North America, you have probably seen tansy growing unchecked or in gardens.

Tansy has quite the herbal remedy history and tradtitionally was used to promote menstruation, provide crude miscarriage (not advised, death can result), to treat gout, and to get rid of worms in children.

Tansy has also been used to settle an upset stomach, and was once very common to drink a tansy tea for fever and the flu.
