What is the name of this plant?

Prince Edward Island, Canada Ca

This plant was given to me two years ago by a friend who no longer lives in our area. It did well last year, but this year, it has rapidly spread. It has a pretty aroma. But I have absolutely no idea what it is. I'd appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Thanks! Marjorie

The leaves look like an Achillea - does it flower?

It reminds me of wild yarrow, which grows in lawns.

Yarrow is the common name for Achillea - which is what this is. Don't know the variety though - Spritz's question does it flower is the one to answer if you want to know the variety!

Thank you for responding. It didn't flower last year and to date, I don't see any buds forming. Therefore, I'm unsure as to whether it flowers or not. I appreciate hearing from you. Happy gardening! Marjorie

Looks as if it could be Tanacetum vulgare - Tansy.

It would have flowered by now if it were Tansy, though??

I call Tansy 'Feverfew', Wagger!

That's Tanacetum parthenium Spritz.
