One of my perennial beds contains the fall-flowering specimen shown below. As you can see, the flowers were very minimal. Can you identify it? I am wondering if the lack of flowering is due to excessive shade or the type of soil (this garden has a lot of clay and excessive tree cover).
Thanks!
Terry

The leaves are wrong for Shasta. Pretty sure it is a Ox-Eyed daisy.
The young leaves along with the petals are edible and tasty too. Pluck and add to a green salad.
