These lovely flowers have arrived without any issues and seem to be settling quietly in the clayey part that welcomes them. The black aphids have taken an interest in them, but I took care of them (without chemical treatment). Can't wait for the tillers!

Description
Tanacetum vulgare 'Isla Gold' is a very pretty variety of tansy, distinguished by its golden foliage from spring to autumn, as well as its more moderate growth and less exuberant temperament than its wild cousin. This truly sun-loving perennial blooms in summer, in the form of flat inflorescences composed of numerous small golden heads. Easy to grow in any soil that is not too dry and in the sun, in a pot or in the ground, without maintenance, this fragrant plant is highly appreciated in a yellow flower bed, in partial shade.
Tansy is a robust perennial plant, belonging to the family Asteraceae, which grows spontaneously in the wild along country roads in Europe and as far as Siberia.
Smaller than the typical species, the 'Isla Gold' variety will not exceed 60 to 70 cm (24 to 28in) in all directions. It is also more restrained and does not self-seed as freely. Tanacetum vulgare Isla Gold has upright stems that bear finely cut foliage, reminiscent of yarrow or certain ferns, which are a stunning bright yellow colour, even in summer. The plant produces hundreds of small round heads from July to September, which are a beautiful bright yellow, gathered in flat and round inflorescences. Its leaves and flowers are slightly fragrant, but slightly less fragrant than the wild species. The plant spreads slowly thanks to its weakly trailing rootstocks. You can grow it in a pot or in the ground by cutting off the shoots. It is a hardy plant, at least down to -15°C (5°F), requiring little maintenance.
Tansy 'Isla Gold' pairs well with red blooms, such as those of Polygonum speciosum or Echinacea 'Vintage Wine', as well as purple foliage. It thrives in ordinary soil that is not too dry in wildflower beds and slightly wild areas, alongside robust perennials such as large daisies, comfrey, helenies, Helianthus salicifolius, or even tall thistles (Cardoon, Globe thistle, Eryngium planum...). It also pairs well with viper's bugloss (Echium vulgare) and chamomile (Chamaelum nobile 'Flore Pleno'). Its flowers, whether fresh or dried, will brighten up your bouquets.

Planting and care
Plant Tansy' Isla Gold' in full sun or, if possible, in partial shade in a warm climate, in a sheltered location. It thrives in all types of soil, including limestone, but prefers fertile, moist, and well-drained soil that is not too dry in summer. Planting takes place in spring (March to June) or autumn (September to October).
Space the young plants 50 cm (20in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the root ball), place the root ball in it, and cover with fine soil. Firmly press down and water. Regularly hoe and weed.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
