Sunlight Marquerite Daisy

I started with two 4" starter plants, 'Sunlight' Marquerite Daisy (Argyranthemum frutescens), premium Annual's from Al's Garden Center. I planted each plant in its own medium sized terra-cotta pot in full sun. These plants produce delicate daisylike yellow flowers with fine foliage all summer and will attract butterflies to the garden. (right) One of my Marquerite Daisies in bloom in late June.

Growing Tips: Marquerite Daisies prefer full sun or part sun and will grow to 24" - 36" tall. In the ground, water 2-3 times weekly until established. In containers or baskets, water daily or as needed.
