Alpine Fever few

From LoveToKnow Garden

Alpine Fever-few (Leucanthemum) - L. alpinum is a very dwarf plant. The leaves are small, and the abundant flowers are supported on hoary little stems 1 to 3 inches long, are pure white with yellow centres, and are more than 1 inch across. It is rather quaint and pretty, and well deserves cultivation in bare level places, on poor sandy or gravelly soil in the rock garden. It is sometimes known as Chrysanthemum arcticum and Pyrethrum alpinum. It is a native of the Alps, and is readily increased by division or seed. (For other species of Leucanthemum see Chrysanthemum.)
