What is this called please?

Hi, this plant came up on my drive, i didn't plant it, but I like it. Looks like something I would have brought from a gaden centre.

Can you tell me what it is please? Wil lit come back up next year?

Also, I would like to have this growing in my back yard for next year, how do I do that please? Can I take a cutting, and if so how please?

Many thanks

Ed

 

Hello Ed, it looks like a toss-up between Tanacetum (Feverfew), Matricaria (German Chamomile) and Chamaemelum (true Chamomile). Those three have very fragrant leaves. Or Anthemis (Field Chamomile) which is scentless. I think if you leave the plant to go to seed, and shake it over the area you want it to grow, you'll have plenty of seedlings!

 

I thought it was an aster.
Micklemas daisy.

 

Same as Pete

 

Thanks guys. Now i have some names and googled them, I think it's a Chamaemelum )from the googled picture). It's quite tall with a single trunk about 2 foot tall. Think I will try to dig it up carefullt when flowers gone to seeds and transfer to a pot for next year to put round th eback. what do you think of that idea?

If it is aster would it survive?

 

You'll know just by brushing the foliage with your fingers if it's Chamomile, Ed. Unmistakable fragrance! As all the above are in the Aster family, pete could well be right, too! I'm sure it will transplant easily, whether to a pot or a spot in the garden.
