Meet Isla Gold Tansy, the golden rebel of the garden border. This cheerful perennial brings bold texture and luminous color with finely-cut, fern-like foliage that emerges chartreuse and matures to a rich, golden hue. Imagine a ground-hugging blaze of gold that persists through summer heat, adding energy and movement to your planting design—like sunshine on a stem.
Though part of a famously weedy species, Isla Gold Tansy is the well-behaved cousin, restrained in height and less aggressive than its wilder relatives. In summer, small button-like yellow flowers hover over the glowing foliage like a floral crown. Some gardeners prefer to snip off the blooms to keep the focus on the foliage show, but others welcome them as quirky, daisy-free pollinator magnets. Either way, it's a plant with style and edge.
This cultivar loves sun but appreciates a little afternoon shade in hot climates. It's equally at home in poor soils or rich ones, and thrives in cottage gardens, wild borders, and naturalized pollinator patches. Whether you're a texture fanatic, a foliage-lover, or just want to shake up your perennial palette—Isla Gold Tansy makes your garden glow.

Interesting Notes About ISLA GOLD TANSY
- Sunshine You Can Plant: The name 'Isla Gold' isn't just for show — its radiant foliage gleams like sunshine, brightening up shady borders and adding brilliant contrast to deep greens and purples.
- Flowers With a Side of Sass: The yellow button blooms may look innocent, but they're a throwback to centuries of use—once found in funeral garlands, teas, and even ancient remedies.
- Smells Like… Repellent?: When crushed, the ferny foliage releases a strong scent that was once used to repel insects—a quirky bonus for outdoor seating areas!
- Gold With Restraint: Unlike common tansy, which can go rogue, 'Isla Gold' tends to behave. It spreads slowly, especially in leaner soils, and forms neat clumps rather than garden takeovers.
- Look, Don't Taste: Despite its long medicinal history, modern science gives it a hard pass. The plant contains thujone, a compound toxic in large doses—so admire, don't infuse.
