Anthemis cretica
Anthemis cretica is a low, mat-forming perennial daisy from the Mediterranean and Middle East, often called Cretan mat daisy. Grow it in full sun and well-drained soil, as it dislikes wet roots.
Anthemis cretica, the Cretian mat daisy or white mat chamomile, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It or its many subspecies can be found around the Mediterranean region, the Black Sea area, Poland, the Caucasus, and the Middle East as far as Iran. It is highly morphologically variable, and the namesake of a species complex.
