Marshall Chamomile
Anthemis marschalliana
Tough ground cover that tolerates heat and drought. The gray feather-like leaves grow about 2" tall and cover the ground in dense patches; 1-inch yellow daisy-like flowers rise about 6-8 inches above the foliage in spring. Plants spread by underground roots to form a large patch. Needs full sun for best show of blooms.
One spring a baby bunny managed to squeeze under the fence and nibbled every one of my Marshall Chamomiles to the ground. They looked as though they had been mowed down to the soil. I thought for sure they would not survive, but about two weeks later they had completely regrown and even began to bloom.
