Tanacetum densum subsp. amani is a low growing shrublet ( a shrublet!) that forms a dense mat of soft, finely divided silvery gray-white leaves.

The leaves are lance-shaped, usually coarsely toothed, are vividly white when young. They form little rosettes and resemble magical, silver flowers.
The flowers are small and yellow, are largely insignificant compared to the foliage of this variation.

The Tales:

“Athanatos” means long-lasting or immortal in Greek, a reference to the long lasting dried flowers of the Tanacetum vulgare – whose flowers were placed on tombstones in Ancient Greece.

The specific epithet means “dense-growing” , from the Amanus mountain range of Adana Province in Anatolia.


Nota bene: There has been some botanical and human confusion between Tanacetum densum subsp. amani and Tanacetum haradjanii – most densum are sold as haradjanii but that is not who they actually are. The true haradjanii have very fine, lacy leaves – resembling those of Artemisia camphorata.
