Tansy
(Tanacetum vulgare) T100
Perennial 4' Full Sun Hardy/Herbaceous Yellow F,M,O,W! $5.75

The ant repellant! The deeply cut leaves of tansy make a safe and effective ant repellant, and is used in creams to kill scabies. A 'tea' made from tansy can be sprayed where ants are invading the home and should stop their ingression. The bright yellow flowers of tansy make it a lovely addition to the landscape. The name tansy is derived from the Greek athanasia, meaning "immortality", because it was used in ancient times in embalming sheets and rubbed on corpses to save them from earthworms. Warning: Tansy should not be taken internally, as it contains thujone and is an emmenagogue (provoking the onset of a period.)

Tarragon, Spanish / Winter Tarragon / Mexican Tarragon
(Tagetes lucida) T205X
Perennial 3' Full Sun Tender/Herbaceous Yellow C,F,O $5.75

A fine substitute for French tarragon! Spanish tarragon will grow all winter long in milder climates, and all summer long in especially warm, humid climates where French tarragon doesn't grow well. Its sophisticated anise-like flavor lends an aromatic fragrance to the kitchen and excitement to many foods. Our taste panel was delightfully surprised at how much Spanish tarragon tastes like the true French tarragon. Lots of edible yellow flowers too.

(Verbena officinalis) V300X
Perennial 2' Full Sun Hardy/Herbaceous Lilac M $6.75

Vervain has long been associated with sorcerers and witches, bestowing them magical powers, and is also called "Herb of the Cross", or herba sacra, for it is thought to have been used to heal Christ's wounds. Reputed to be an aphrodisiac and to "heal holes in the aura". Also used as a sedative. Grow in moist, well-drained soil.

Wormwood - Out of Stock
(Artemisia absinthium) W200
Perennial 2' Full Sun Hardy/Herbaceous Yellow M,O,W! $5.75

A pretty plant with deeply cut silver foliage, good in a moonlight garden. Wormwood enjoys a somewhat checkered past. Most infamous for being the source of the liqueur absinthe, a highly addictive narcotic banned in the U.S. and France in the 1910's. The leaves contain thujone, a highly dangerous but effective vermifuge (expels worms), hence the name. Wormwood is one of the oldest known remedies for intestinal worms. Wormwood is still used today to flavor vermouth, however the thujone is removed. Warning: Wormwood should not be taken internally, except under the guidance of a professional.
