Name That Plant!

identification needed for this plant please

7 years ago

hello, im new to this forum. ive been growing this plant for 2 years
now, since i saw it at a local garden centre. i live in the Caribbean so
its always hot and sunny here year round.

this plant loves the
heat and sun. it spreads via rhizomatous roots. i have no idea what the
names of it is. i have done tons of research and come up with nothing. i
thought it might be an erigeron, but havent found one that matches it
exactly. it definitely is not a santa barbara daisy... i tried growing
that from seeds and they grew but was not the same as this, at all.

does anyone have an idea of what this might be? thanks for any help! Siam.

Siam I have been searching too and not coming up with a good match. It does have the growth habit of a Leucanthemum.

the goldfish plant can be pinched back - you will get 2 branches from just below where you pinch, almost in a Y formation. I have pinched mine back several times, and it's a much fuller plant. It does look a little wild right now because of all the new growth, but I'm thinking of repotting it into a hanging basket this spring. I have found it to be a very fast-growing and fun plant - it's one of my favorites right now. Enjoy it!

Thank you Kristin for your advise. I plant only non-invasive species in my garden so I am going to plant the new butterfly Molly (dwarf the non-invasive one) instead - it has similar look and flowers and it is the most compact out of all the butterfly bushes and supposedly non-invasive. Here are some photos from my garden. Love to mingle with nature and study all the deer resistant non-invasive species and help others with my gardening experience. Happy gardening season!. :-) Eva

Leucanthemum vulgaris, the meadow ox eye daisy type, would have a basal rosette, and they don't grow rhizomes (IME).

Symphyotrichum (aka Asters), would be my bet too, I planted/ handled some several times, this foliage reminds me of S ageratoides,

only problem there are several species, sub-species and cultivars, so really tricky to be sure which it is,

plus I have no clue whether they could prosper without winter dormancy,

good luck, Lin
