Just bumping this up.

I can't believe that nobody grows this lovely plant in the WS community!

Hi Marianne,
I had never heard of it before you posted. I did a google search on it and it looks like a shrub. Is it?

Hi Alberta,

No, it is more like an herb, really, and looks somewhat like feverfew but with beautiful chartreuse foliage. I plan to grow it just for the foliage. Don't care much for the flowers. I also heard that it lasts better if you don't let it go to seed - which may be why I'm having such a hard time finding someone who has seed to share. I might just have to break down and buy a couple of plants to get my own seed.

It's non-cultivar cousin (Common Tansy) is an obnoxious weed in these here parts of the US. I keep one just for the use of bringing in pungent smelling leaves and dried flower parts indoors around harvest time in fall....deters field mice from entering and sticking around. I wouldn't dream of letting it go to seed or giving it more water than nature provides as it's an aggressive re-seeder and spreads underground via runners. I'm not convinced 'Isla Gold' is better behaved!!
