Dyer's chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria) Perennial. Zones 3-9. This is one of the delightful flowers. It's golden yellow color cheers up any garden space. It grows to 2', bears it's button like golden daisy flowers in droves from early summer to late summer. Continuous bloom if you dead head them weekly. Deadheading is especially important if you do not want them to spread rampantly. This plant is somewhat drought tolerant and it is said that deer do not like them and where elk are a garden problem, they don't like it either. It can grow in full to part sun, with more sun you get more flowers.
