Argyranthemum frutescens aka Marguerite

Q: What are the water needs for Marguerite

Marguerite should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Q: What is the right soil for Marguerite

Marguerite loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Q: What is the sunlight requirement for Marguerite

Marguerite requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your Marguerite Daisy is always in the right place to thrive.

Genus Argyranthemum Family Asteraceae Order Asterales Class Magnoliopsida Phylum Tracheophyta

Argyranthemum frutescens, also known as Paris daisy, marguerite, or marguerite daisy, is a perennial plant native to the Canary Islands. It is known for its daisy-like flowers and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in private and public gardens in many countries. The most common cultivar has white petals, but there are many other cultivars available, including new patented ones that make striking displays of seasonal color. Marguerite daisy is an excellent bedding plant that produces flowers in late spring and summer and is a busy type perennial in warm regions. Its silvery-gray foliage is also a nice feature in the garden. However, it cannot tolerate hard freezes, so it is sometimes used as an annual in colder regions. Marguerite daisy is also a popular houseplant that is easy to grow and needs regular watering. It does best in long-lasting, direct light and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
