The Marguerite Daisy ( Argyranthemum frutescens ) is a Perennial small shrub that is prized by gardeners for it's flower display and because it's easy to grow. It is sometimes confused with Shasta Daisies, as the flowers look similar. The Marguerites have an amazing variety of colours available, and also a great choice of flower shapes, from pom-pom type flowers to traditional daisy shaped flowers. Give these plants a sunny position and well drained soil with a bit of regular water and fertilizer and they will impress you for months with a wonderful display. They also benefit from a good pruning after flowering to keep the plant compact and avoid leggy growth. Nurseries and garden centres usually stock these plants as they are very popular, especially the newer hybrid varieties. They are easily propagated from cuttings in warmer months. They are suited to temperate and warmer climates, and grow up to about a metre tall. i spotted these plants in Coogee, in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

Thanks for your support again !
Magnificent flowers. Another plant that I saw for the first time on your blog. Thank you for this and thank you for supporting the people who leave comments.
The comments reveal a lot to me about the people making them, and i enjoy reading them too. I am happy the blog gives you enjoyment too.
I already know where I will get inspiration for creating my garden.
You are a great inspiration :)
Marguerite Daisy is one of the most common and appreciated flowers because of its simplicity and beauty.
Greetings
What a nice thing to say, thanks !
:)
The Marguerite Daisy is very beautiful because of the contrasting color of the flowers with white petals and yellow center @ctrl-alt-nwo I can see that it is very popular for use in beautifying the garden.
Hey @ctrl-alt-nwo I see you have a kook as your main pic and that you say youre a precious metals collector. Any chance you could show off your stack, it's always great to come across members with similar interests. Looking forward to seeing some posts. #steemsilvergold
Plus don't know if you knew about STEEMIT's own silver coin (that I designed 😉)
Hi, my stack is in storage, but occasionally i pull a few out and show them off here, mostly Australian Perth mint coins. Nice design of yours by the way !
Looking forward to seeing your next silver post. If you want to keep an eye on some previous metal stackers and pourers here on Steemit, we use the tag #steemsilvergold. Hopefully catch you soon. Take care
Like mini sun-flowers. :-)
Better, but not edible.
Good lookin daisies you got there. I see they are easy to maintain so maybe they are perfect for a gardener like myself :D
Wow they really are looking very beautiful and lovely and kind of looks like Sunflower as well but smaller in size ;)
Very beautiful by the way :)
Better looking than Sunflower but not edible.
Well I liked it :)
Will be out tomorrow, Hoping to get some images :)
Beautiful yellow daisy! These are quite popular here too. I have seen them as pot plants.
There are too many insects in my garden, they will eat all these flowers and leaves in no time!
Many insects is a good sign you have a healthy environment ! I think you must be encouraging it, and you seem like a man who loves all nature, much like myself.
Yap! Nature is very important to my soul!
I also have a few snakes, squirrels, big red birds and other smaller birds in my garden!
Cheers.
Wonderful photos.
I really liked your photos of flowers

Marguerite daisy flowers are a small shrub-like perennial in the family Asteraceae, which are native to the Canary Islands. This little herbaceous perennial is a nice addition to flower beds, borders or as a container specimen. Marguerite daisy flowers, whose Latin name is Argyranthemum frutescens, are terrific butterfly and other pollinator attractors.

Available in a variety of hues from white or yellow to pink or purple depending on the species, these daisies are similar in appearance to the Shasta daisy. The various species and subspecies result from hybridization, and thus, may be imports from several spots around the globe. Two examples of this are the blue marguerite daisy, which hails from South Africa, and the white harvest snow daisy, which was brought from Germany.

[Marguerite Daisy]
Have you ever seen Marguerite Daisy flowers directly?
The Marguerite Daisy flower is a Danish national flower that grows in the Canary Islands, Spain, Denmark, and several other regions of Europe.
This flower belongs to the family Asteraceae and the genus Argyranthemum — the Latin name for this flower is Argyranthemum frutescent meaning that this flower is favored by butterflies.
Marguerite Daisy forms small shrubs that reach 1-3 feet tall. Amazingly, this flower can grow almost every season, autumn, spring and summer.
Marguerite Daisy flower color is quite diverse, namely white, purple, pink, yellow depending on the species.
At first, Denmark did not have national interest. Then in the mid-1980s, a television program asked the opinion of the Danish people to determine national interest through voting.
In the determination, the interest chosen by the community is dandelion.
Even so, Marguerite Daisy remained elected because it was the favorite interest of the Danish Queen. In Denmark, there is one road that is the same as the name of this flower, Marguerite Route which was inaugurated by the Danish Queen who reigned at that time.

Marguerite Daisy looks so colourful in the bunch it grows in really an incredible plant to have :)
@ctrl-alt-nwo, In my opinion these are so beautiful families of flowers and if these are grown just outside our house door then for sure it will going to give the welcoming essence.
And specially those bunch of Yellow Flowers are reflecting as Sun Flower to some extent and whenever we explore yellow then for sure it gives the essence of light.
And if i talk about those white flowers then for sure i will call them as gems and that is because, those are reflecting as white smiling gems and also hold the healing shine.
Most importantly, it will be an great thing if everyone adopt the plantation because in my opinion then that will make our world an paradise for sure and Environment will going to become more breathtaking.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
Your comments are like they are written by an artistic type of person, nice to read !
Thank you so much for your kind words. Stay blessed. 🙂

Thanks for the story and the information of the plants. That's what I learned about this flower.
MARGUERITE DAISY. This hardy chamomile is one of the best options for summer color on the solar boundary. Plants form a shrub mound of green green foliage, carrying loads of small bright yellow camomiles, since the beginning of summer. Excellent for planting in bathtubs and mixed containers, as well as for fresh cut flowers. Short-lived perennial, but will re-sow itself. Grow 24-30 inches tall in full sun or particle.

flowers that are very attractive to look at especially when planted in the yard.
They may not be safe in my country. Because people may collect flowers :)
The Marguerite Daisy is a time-honoured favourite. This group of plants gives free reign to the imagination with every type of application possible. Argyranthemums can be used in mixed containers, as an accent to specimen plants or to add a splash of colour. They are pretty planted in large container groupings or in window boxes and will bloom until hard frost. Remove spent blossoms for continuous bloom. They make excellent cut flowers.

For optimal blooms and healthy plants, marguerite daisy growing conditions end towards favoring cooler temperature. The blooms are fullest in the fall and spring months depending on your climate zone. Marguerite daisies are USDA zoned through 9-11, although I have heard from folks in zone 3 who say they do well in early spring. Regardless, it is certainly a fact that when the thermometer dips below freezing, it is time to say goodbye to the plant until the following spring.

Beautiful Pics !
Marguerite daisy flowers measure about 2 ½ inches across and come in shades of white, pink or yellow. Most varieties feature a single layer of radiating petals around a large central eye, giving the plant its daisylike look. Marguerite daisy plants grow to about 3 feet tall and can spread over 3 feet of bed. The deep green foliage is highly fragrant. The leaves are deeply cut, which gives the plant its full appearance and provides texture in the garden bed.
Although it grows as a short-lived perennial, Marguerite daisies are often treated as annuals in large pots and containers. The plant's height and full form allow it to fill out flower borders, where it can bloom all summer. The Marguerite daisy works well as a background plant in larger beds where you can place lower-growing flower varieties in front of it. It also works well as a low-growing spring and summer hedge or border along sidewalks and patios.

Butterfly Marguerite Daisy has masses of beautiful lemon yellow daisy flowers with yellow centers at the ends of the stems from early summer to early fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its tiny deeply cut ferny leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Butterfly Marguerite Daisy is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep. Trim off the flower heads after they fade and die to encourage more blooms late into the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Argyranthemum frutescens, known as Paris daisy,marguerite or marguerite daisy, is a perennial plant known for its flowers. It is native to the Canary Islands (part of Spain).
It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental planted in private gardens and public parks in many countries, and naturalized in Italy and southern California.[5] The most common variety has white petals.
It is a perennial shrub that is about 2–3 feet (61–91 cm) tall and wide, while usually 1–3 feet (30–91 cm) tall. . The strongly branched plant often grows globose-bushy with ascending to upright branches.
Source
Argyranthemum frutescens can be normally found during the summer, since they grow best with full sunlight, although they are at their showiest during the spring. These flowers grow in many different types of habitats.
They are also most frequently used for borders of houses since they grow continuously. They can only survive under summer conditions with plenty of sun and cannot survive in areas that are cold and have no sunlight. They are also known for long period of growth ranging from May to November.
Along with full sunlight, this plant needs organic matter in high quantities in order to grow, while it also requires very well drained soil. The plant can die if overwhelmed with water. It is tolerant of low temperatures, although it cannot survive freezing. It requires a lot of sunlight and must be protected from the wind.
Like the other Argyranthemum species, the shrub marguerite originates from the Canary Islands. On El Hierro, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria it is common in the coastal regions, on La Palma very rare. Overall, it is the most common species of the genus in the Canary Islands.
The plant often grows in succulent shrubbery on well-drained, poor soils in full sun, preferably also near the coast at altitudes up to 700 meters. For this reason, it easily fades in warmer areas of the world.

The marguerite daisy (previously known as Chrysanthemum frutescens) hails from the Canary Islands and Madeira, and to me is the archetypal daisy flower.
It offers a wealth of blooms of various colours - pinks, white, cream, yellow and burgundy - from late winter all through spring. In cooler climates than ours, they also flower in summer; in general, our Sydney summer temperatures are too warm for bud initiation.
Argyranthemum frutescens cultivars growing at the Botanic Garden Wollongong, NSWArgyranthemum frutescens cultivars growing at the Botanic Garden Wollongong, NSW
The foliage is attractively dissected or ferny looking. These daisies like dryish, sunny conditions with good drainage, and can cope with quite exposed spots. They will survive mild frosts.
There are many named hybrids and cultivars available these days, some of them very compact, though the old-fashioned single and double white and pink ones which grow about 1m tall are probably the most resilient. They are a quintessential cottage plant and make a wonderful contribution in the garden for months on end with other flowers in bloom at this time: perennials, including lavender, Pelargonium, Limonium; bulbs such as Freesia; and shrubs such as may bush (Spiraea cantoniensis). They are sometimes shaped into a standard form, or used to create an informal low hedge. They can be grown in containers.
The plants are bothered by no insect pests or diseases. They can be grown in seaside gardens. Regular dead-heading of spent blooms prolongs their flowering period, and they should be pruned fairly hard after flowering ceases. Perhaps because of the sheer abundance of the flowers they produce, I find they seem to exhaust themselves after a couple of years and become woody. This is when they should probably be replaced by cuttings, which are very easily propagated and will quickly grow into a shrubby form.
