Well, Diane, this is one of the better guesses yet, tho I really can't ID
two rows of petals. Their foliage does have a smell, but I wouldn't
exactly describe it as aromatic like A. millefolia (which I don't
particularly care for!). Let me know when your plants bloom and see how
the photo compares.
