<<I live in Hamilton, Ohio, zone 6 (right now the rain capital of the

weed in this pot. My question is, can it be planted in the ground? How
hardy is it for zone 6. Does it spread and want to take over where ever
it is planted? My ground is almost 100% clay. What to I need to do to
prepare the ground for the Tansy? >>
If you put it in the ground it will spread like mad. It is hardy to zone 5 and
does fine in clay though my clay is likely a little dryer than yours. Water
seems to make it grow taller. Perhaps add a little sharp sand and compost...
or do nothing as tansy can grow in poor soil. It does like sun, but will
tolerate a little (not much) shade. Blue Flax would do well in the sunny NW
area that you have, so would Yarrow and the Tansy. Good luck.
