It's growing in northeast Louisiana. Zone 8B. On a hill and under a pine tree. The leaves are opposite of each other. The bunches of flowers are only about an inch across to an inch and a half. The plant is approximately 12 inches tall. The leaves don't have smooth edges.

Looks like hardy mist flower, Conoclinium coelestinum. An Eastern US Native is a hardy perennial, In its preferred environment (sun to part sun, damp areas that don’t dry out) they can spread vigorously. Blooms from Late summer to Early Fall, beloved by pollinators.
Here you go!
It’s a great plant!

Mistflower. You can propagate by splitting if I recall they have rhizomes and spread underground.
They produce quite a lot of seeds if you can come back and collect them in a few weeks. The seeds look hairy like a goldenrod’s to get blown in the wind. You need to keep them in a fridge with some moisture for a few months to break their winter dormancy and then sow them in some bare soil come spring.
All of my neighbors have them now
