Latin name: Matricaria matricarioides
Size: Grows to around 35cms high
Distribution: Found throughout the UK.
Flowering months: June to August
Habitat: Waste ground, gardens and roadsides.
Special features: The pineapple mayweed, sometimes called the
pineappleweed is a member of the daisy family. It produces yellow flowers that are so tightly packed together they resemble a tiny pineapple.
To add to the effect, if you pinch its feathery leaves, they emit a strong smell of pineapple.
This plant originated in east Asia, but is now well established here in the U.K.
