Plant Information
Top Tips
These Marguerites have a long flowering season, from May until November, so benefit from regular deadheading to remove faded blooms.
Care Guide
- Pot plugs on into a good-quality multipurpose compost and give them cold-weather protection, then once all danger of frost has passed, plant them into their flowering positions.
- Plant in fertile, moist free-draining soil in full sun to partial shade in a sheltered position and keep well-watered throughout the summer.
- Alternatively, plant in pots or baskets in a good multi-purpose compost.
- Keep well-watered.
- While deadheading is not essential, regularly removing spent flowers will encourage further growth and result in more flowers for longer.
- Mulch in autumn to help protect from frosts or overwinter in a frost free greenhouse.
