Small White Flowers

I was given what I thought was boltonia at our neighborhood plant exchange a couple of years ago. However, it has consistently bloomed starting in June and the other boltonia I have doesn't bloom until August. The leaves are also different.

Any ideas what it might be?

Take a look at Eastern daisy fleabane - Erigeron annuus.

It definitely looks like Erigeron annuus! The English daisy looks very similar but the flower petals on this plant are narrower.

I'm happy it's native, but does anyone know just how aggressively it spreads? It's definitely taking off this year, but is in a spot where it might have the space to spread.

Correct! Very invasive here...
