Fleabane Daisy is a member of the aster family has an erect, hairy stem that bears flowerheads full of white or pale pink ray flowers near the top of the plant. These flowers surround a yellow disk near and are held up by green sepals. The fragrance is mild but noticeable. In this the plant is much like its cousin the oxeye daisy though the rays, which can number 50 to 120, are short compared to the diameter of the disk. It may also be mistaken for an aster, but it blooms much earlier in the season. The toothed, slender, lance-shaped, hairy leaves are up to 5 inches in length and the plant increases from 1 to 5 feet tall. It gets its name from the belief that the flowers, when dried, would chase the fleas out of a house.
