Thanks,
I thought chrysanthemum maresii  has only white flowers? These have a red ring in the middle.

I had to look this one up, and found that the PlantList notes the name is "Rhodanthemum catananche". It can still be seen in the nursery trade listed as Chrysanthemum catananche.

Rhodanthemum catananche has creamy-beige flowers, your photo looks like the form R. catanache 'Tizi-n-Tichka' which is also slower growing, has shorter flower stems and is generally a more compact plant.
