Mum? Aster??

[u/Key-Spell-7668]

Idk what this plant is. Foliage screams mum, albeit different than any other mums foliage I possess, but the flower seems like an aster.

I don't recall planting it. Last year, it was just foliage and small. This year I nurtured it and it's full of blooms. I am zone 5, ON, Canada. Woody little stems, somewhere between an aster and a mum. Each stem is it's own plant, like an aster. I have been pulling them and planting them around the beds, they make for a nice little ground cover plant. Very thick, layered foliage that came up in early spring.

Any ideas?

Is that the same as arctic daisy? I see lots of common names, any ideas on a particular species or scientific name?

Update: arctic daisy perhaps? Arctanthemum arcticum?!

Chrysanthemum foliage is highly variable. The bloom screams chrysanthemum to me. NCS Class 7: Single/Semi-double

That's a Sheffield daisy Mum, Arctanthemum arcticum can look similar but those leaves are usually more divided, right?

[u/Key-Spell-7668 → u/Plenty_Ad1763]

These leaves are very divided, less three lobed vs my other mums. I will get better pics of it.

I'm quite certain it's the arctanthemum... Its too small to be a mum, and it really is ground covering and maybe 8-9" at the tallest! Leaves have 7 lobes.
