Notes
'Tetra White' matricaria (Tanacetum parthenium 'Tetra White') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in early to late summer, and its fragrant flowers draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows as a rapid clump and handles drought.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Blue fescue, and Ornamental onion.
