Latin Name: Argyranthemum frutescens 

The Argyranthemum, commonly called Marguerite Daisy, is a sun-loving plant (often grown as an annual) prized for its daisy-like blooms and long flowering season. Growing 1–3 feet (30–90 cm) tall, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and coastal gardens.

This Canary Islands native produces 2–3 inch (5–7.5 cm) white, pink, or yellow flowers with golden centers, blooming spring to frost in cool climates (may pause in extreme heat). Its fern-like, blue-green foliage adds texture.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established but prefers moderate watering. Deer-resistant and salt-tolerant, perfect for seaside landscapes.

Perfect for cottage gardens, pair with lavender, salvia, or ornamental grasses.
