這是一種強勢的多年生野花. 花期很長. 白色小菊花從春末開到初秋或中秋. 花很吸引蜂蝶. 很適合當切花的花材. 貧瘠乾燥的土地很難種美麗的花時它是個好選擇. 不過如果種在花園裡是需要控制它們的數量. 首先多切花那樣你可以瓶插且不讓它們結種子. 再則不讓其分株容易. 初春的控制根系是必要的. 對養蜂人它的花期很長則是蜜蜂很好的蜜源且不需管理. 成熟株高1-3呎,寬幅1-1.5呎. 耐寒耐旱耐熱.

My Food And Flowers 
Oh I have these all over (not by choice lol)! I will remember to cut the ones that have slowly taken over a new garden bed. Thanks for that tip!!
You are welcome! Do you have honey bee hives in your property? This plant is well appreciated by all the bees! 🙂 You could contact the local floral stores to sell them for cut flowers if you have lots of them. It will be good for your fertilizer money for the rest of garden! 😉
Great idea!!! I don’t have honey bees. Maybe some day 🙂
If you have space for them that will be great!
this is very invasive here and although I like it, I don’t let it in my flower beds at all.
I like it, too! I use it for cut flower so they don’t have chance to seed at all.
So many times, I have been tempted to dig a clump of this out and bring home. Invasive or not, I love this flower! A staple of a summer bouquet! 🙂
