Tanacetum parthenium
'Aureum'
Dwarf Golden Feverfew or Golden Feather
Zone: 4-9
An outstanding cultivar with bright golden foliage. Beautiful w/ bronze-leaved herbs
for example Hopely's Purple or Haurenhausen Oregano or Eupatorium
'Chocolate'. Strong scented clusters of white daisy-like flowers with
yellow button centers for a long bloom period. In
a class by itself for foliage color. Remove seed heads to prevent
self-sowing if desired but we've never found it pesky in the
garden. AKA, Chrysanthemum parthenium 'Aureum'.

Tanacetum vulgare
'Crispum'
Fernleaf Tansy .
Zone: 4-9
 
A popular herb that was carried to this country on the Mayflower. Not a
native but gosh, coming to this country on the Mayflower is pretty
nifty! Foliage more curled and fernlike than regular Tansy. Leaves help repel insects. Aggressive grower -- plant in a large pot -- sunken or on your patio if spreading annoys you. Hardy enough to leave out in a pot. Same herbal properties as regular tansy, just prettier.

spring, which fade to pink. Dan found this silver splashed form in a

Teucrium marum
Cat Thyme
Z:
(7)8-10
Forget Catnip if you're a gardening cat. What you need is Cat Thyme (which isn't a thyme at all!) It's a beautiful Germander that our cats will dig thru the snow to reach! Actually you might need two -- one for your cat to wallow shamelessly in & one for yourself! Allergies, sniffles? Rub your plants foliage, breath in & it will open your sinuses -- much prettier in the windowsill than a jar of Vicks. It's lovely.
Also a good bonsai candidate. Writer Arthur Jackson's July

Thalictrum minus 'Adiantifolium'
Lesser Meadow Rue Zone: 3-8
A
Meadow Rue grown primarily for its very attractive foliage which features
fine-textured, lacy, medium blue-green, compound leaves. The foliage
looks a bit like columbine or maidenhair fern foliage hence the cultivar
name 'Adiantum' (genus name for Maidenhair Fern). Looks nice all
season with adequate moisture. It is rhizomatous but so slow
spreading that you can simply treat it as a clump former. The
flowers are yellow green, persist for months, eventually turning brown and
somewhat inconspicuous BUT make a great, airy dried flower.

Thalictrum rochebrunianum

A CHOICE
Meadowrue. From Japan, quite possibly the best of the genus. Sprays of large, single flowers
of deep rose-pink in an open panicle. Very graceful and very hardy. A
good strong grower in a genus that has some 'wimpy' growers! This
Thalictrum has a delicate form but a robust, tough nature. Suffers
all kinds of abuse without missing a beat.

Thelesperma trifidum
(filifolium var. filifolium) Greenthread, Plains Navajo
Tea Zone: 5-10
Extremely finely textured coreopsis cousin from the Great Plains. Yellow flowers on 18" tall plants. New in the trade. Greenthreads are beautiful in the border or the 'Wild Garden'. New for us
2002, it pretty much bloomed, on the bench, all summer! Self-seeds, so you'll get some more. Gotta love it!
This is a fabulous, fabulous plant. One
of our Top 10 favorites for ease, toughness and shear bloom
power! Note: Looks a little gangly in the pot it's first
year because it wants more room to recline gracefully about. As
of 7-06, we were the only source shown on Google for this plant in

Tiarellas - Foamflowers
These
Natives came in two
forms/species years ago: T. cordifolia -- the 'Runner' and T. wherryi
-- the 'Clumper' which spreads slowly and is taller than T. cordifolia.
We've been specific, when possible about correct nomenclature because
it tells you a bit about the plant's growth habits. Hybrids -
and there are many gorgeous new Hybrids coming out - are crosses
between the two with varying degrees of 'running' and/or
'clumping'. We see differences of opinions on Zones. Dr.
Leonard Perry at the U. of Vt. says Zone 3-8 on all. Terra
specifically lists Zone 3-9 on it's plants, so what's a girl to do --
they're both experts. They are all extremely long blooming.
