Argyranthemum frutescens aka Marguerite

Taxonomy ID: 5021

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.

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.
