Hi Cathy from Ohio.  I have Tansy and almost 100% clay here in SE
Wisconsin.  Doesn't seem to mind, in fact it thrives.  I started by
planting mine under my kitchen window because I heard it was a natural
ant repellant.  It wasn't sunny enough there and the Tansy flopped over
and was pretty unattractive.

I dug and moved most of it (always stragglers I can't quite get) to a
sunnier location and it's doing well now.  I'm sure it will take over
whatever spot you put it in.

Good luck
