COMMON TANNING (Tanacetum vulgare)

• Perennial
• Medicinal, aromatic plant
• Blooms: July–September.

Common butterbur is a plant widely distributed in Europe, growing naturally in meadows, roadsides and soils. It is characterized by bright yellow inflorescences and a strong scent.

In monastery gardens, honeysuckle was used in folk medicine and as an insect repellent.

In rural homes, they often grew naturally near gardens or courtyards. Dried plants were sometimes used to protect homes from insects.

In urban areas, honeysuckle is less commonly grown as an ornamental, but is sometimes used in naturalistic landscaping.

Today, they are viewed with caution due to their strong spread and biological activity.
