Product Overview
Argyranthemum frutescens Single White Marguerite Daisy is a charming, shrubby perennial (or short-lived herbaceous plant) with delicate, ferny foliage and abundance of bright white daisy-like flowers. Its long-season bloom, tidy mound habit, and adaptability make it a top pick for borders, containers, pollinator gardens, or seaside plantings.
Growth:
Mounds to about 60 to 90 cm tall and wide, with bloom stems rising just above the foliage creating a soft, rounded structure ideal for floral drifts or edging.
Light Requirements:
Loves full sun for best flowering abundance and compact growth. Performs well in light morning shade in very hot climates to preserve blooms.
Soil Requirements:
Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Tolerates a range of soil types, including poor or sandy soils provided drainage is reliable.
Water Requirements:
Water consistently during establishment. Once established, water sparingly and allow the topsoil to dry between deep watering sessions to avoid root issues.
Frost Tolerance:
Moderately frost tolerant. In cooler areas, treat as a seasonal plant or protect with mulch or shelter.
Drought Tolerance:
Moderate drought tolerance once mature. Sustains in low-water landscapes with occasional deep watering in long dry spells.
Flowering Information:
Blooms profusely with single white daisies, centered with yellow, from late spring into autumn. Deadheading promotes extended bloom. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Spacing Requirements:
Plant 50 to 90 cm apart to allow for airy form and continuous flowering display in groupings or mixed plantings.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Low feeding needs. A light spring top-up with balanced fertiliser or compost supports vigour and flowering.
Care and Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Deadhead spent flowers to boost rebloom. Pinch back young growth to keep plants compact. Divide older clumps as needed in spring or autumn. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
