What is the name of this plant?

Prince Edward Island,

This plant was given to me two years ago by a friend who no longer lives in our area. It did well last year, but this year, it has rapidly spread. It has a pretty aroma. But I have absolutely no idea what it is. I'd appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Thanks! Marjorie

It reminds me of wild yarrow, which grows in lawns.

Yarrow is the common name for Achillea - which is what this is. Don't know the variety though - Spritz's question does it flower is the one to answer if you want to know the variety!

Thank you for responding. It didn't flower last year and to date, I don't see any buds forming. Therefore, I'm unsure as to whether it flowers or not. I appreciate hearing from you. Happy gardening! Marjorie

Looks as if it could be Tanacetum vulgare - Tansy.

It would have flowered by now if it were Tansy, though??
I call Tansy 'Feverfew', Wagger!

That's Tanacetum parthenium Spritz.
