Tanacetum parthenium ‘Aureum’, also known as the Golden Chamomile, is a drought tolerant, medicinal and fragrant perennial herb distinguished by its golden foliage.
‘Aureum’ is a beautiful variety of tansy, not only because it is cheerier and more graphic than its wild cousin, but also because it has a more moderate growth rate and less exuberant temperament
From July to September, it produces hundreds of small, round flower heads with white petals surrounding a large yellow center.
👨🌾GARDENING TIPS👨🌾:
-
- The best time to collect the leaves for drying, infusions, culinary uses is between April and July – just before Tansy begins to flower.
- Pruning: tightly prune in March so that the shape remains tidy.
- Human consumption of common tansy has been practiced for centuries with few ill effects, yet the toxic properties of the plants are cumulative and long term consumption of large quantities has caused convulsions and even death.
-
- So please don’t eat too much of it.

The Tale:
The Golden Camomile is special in that both the flowers and the leaves have medicinal properties – known especially for treating migraines.
In the sixteenth century it was considered to be “necessary for a garden” in England – a list compiled in or around 1525 by Thomas Fromond, a Surry landowner.
The plants were classified by species having a specific purpose or by species destined for a ‘sophisticated pleasure garden’.
It was grown in the garden of Charlemagne the Great in the eighth century and in the herb gardens of Swiss Benedictine monks as a treatment for intestinal worms, rheumatism, fevers and digestive problems.
According to liquor historian A. J. Baime, in the 19th century Tennessee whiskey magnate Jack Daniel enjoyed drinking his own whiskey with sugar and crushed tansy leaf – I’ll confirm, it is quite tasty!
The flowers make a bright yellow dye for those who are keen home dyers 🙂
