    AD8BB3D7-05F2-4E15-9A61-A58917FAAD75.jpeg I swear I planted these from seed last spring. It grow to large clumps that I planted out. There were no flowers last year, but it continued to grow almost like a leafy salad plant!

    This year it’s shot up in height and you can see flowers budding! Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Looks like a Chrysanthemum to me, they are perennial so will come back each year.

    Many variations of the plant so you need to wait and see what the flower looks like to possibly know the exact variety.

    I think it's Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum).

    A good reliable flowering perennial and easy to divide and replant the clumps autumn or winter, so you can spread them around if you like them. :dbgrtmb:

    I killed my Shasta daisy. I divided and replanted it in the heat of summer. Maybe I didn't water it enough.

    Whatever you have, it looks healthy.

    Thanks! My wife began digging it up, thinking it was a weed... :redface:

    But in doing so I replanted it as it had been divided!
