Noxious Weed!
Common Tansy is easily identified
by its clusters of yellow, button-like flower heads. Leaves are pinnately divided
with toothed leaflets. Plants grow to about two feet tall. An escaped ornamental
that can invade natural areas, Common Tansy is a noxious weed that should be controlled
aggressively before it becomes established.
