Description
Latin Name: Chrysanthemum leucanthemum. About the Plant: Perennial native to Europe and temperate Asia. Nice plants to have in the wild lawn or diverse medicinal herb garden. These have a mound-shaped habit and are florific during early summer. Traditional usage (Native American, TWH): upper respiratory infection and asthma. Excellent attractor of pollinators and good for kids (daisy chains). Plant prefers fast-draining and poor soils and full sun. I found one this week growing into a crack on top of one of the rocks surrounding a raised bed in the west garden. They are tough contenders.
