Dune tansy

Dune tansy is a lovely evergreen low growing, spreading perennial that grows 1-2 feet tall. It is native to the sand dunes of San Francisco Bay and is fairly rare.

The finely dissected leaves can be very aromatic and the long lasting, button like, yellow flowers appear from May to September.

It will do best with well drained soils as its native habitat includes sand dunes or gravel or cobble beaches.
