What does feverfew look like?
Self-tutoring about plant identification: the tutor identifies the daisy-like plant growing in the backyard.
Identifying this one took some time, but I believe it’s feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium). The non-pointed, lobed leaves seem to be decisive, as many plants, apparently, have flowers like daisies.
Apparently feverfew can take hold pretty quickly, though it’s not native here. I’ve not seen it in the yard before, but numerous are present now.
