I wonder if anyone here can help? 
I have been trying to find out what this plant is for three years or more. I have asked on here before, and looked in books and on most plant identification websites. Quite frankly it's driving me nuts! 
Pictures to follow.
It is a herbaceous perennial, growing to around three feet tall, and flowers from mid/late June for a couple of weeks.
The flowers are daisy-like, with blunt petals, and grow in a cluster at the top of each stem. They grow in a group rather like they do on an Elder or Cow parsley.
The leaves are soft to the touch, growing in a ferny mound before the stems grow up, then they and grow individually around the stems, up the whole stem. The flower heads dry on the stem, and the stems dry-out and hollow, becoming brittle.
It transplants, and establishes easily, and is quite tough, seemingly needing little water. It appears to tolerate sun or part shade, and spreads happily. I would guess it could be mildly invasive in cases.
Heeeeelp!
