All I can tell you is that it's low growing and the flowers are about an inch diameter

Feverfew is a terrible weed.  But great for headaches.

I planted it years ago, and it haunts me yet. It's easily pulled out when it grows in the wrong place, and it brightens up the garden, so I'm not about to object to it.

I let some of it pop up in a couple areas because it will keep blooming when everything else has died except the zinnias and makes a good picked flower filler. For some reason the deer don't eat it, maybe they don't get headaches.
