    Hello All

    They have daisy like flowers during summer that the hoverflies go mad for. It's green all year round and produces a lot of seed heads then smell quite nice when crushed.

    I suspect it may be an oxeye daisy or maybe chamomile.

    What's the best way to spread these through the garden please?

      It is one of the most prolific seed weeds going, so do be careful or you will end up with it everywhere.

      Happy for it to run rampant as there's only two of them in the garden so far, need some colour ASAP

        Feverfew has been used as a herbal treatment to reduce fever and to treat headaches, once it seeds all over your garden it gives you a headache too :heehee:
