Simple leaved milfoil is a small, low-growing, woody-based perennial of the Alps, in the daisy family, that forms mats of creeping stems with white flower heads in summer. It grows best in full sun, lean and very well-drained soil, and cold conditions; it is a rock garden or alpine plant rather than a houseplant.
