The golden marguerite, also known as yellow chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria), is a garden ornamental plant. It is a separate species from the marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens), which is native to the Canary Islands and grown for its daisylike flowers. The golden marguerite is cultivated for its yellow ray flowers and yellow disk flowers, and cultivars with pink ray flowers or double blooms have also been developed. The plant's deeply lobed leaves are aromatic.12
