Marguerite daisies (Argyranthemum frutescens) are vibrant, bushy perennials known for their white, pink, or yellow flowers with yellow centers. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, blooming from spring to fall. Native to the Canary Islands, they are popular in gardens for their long flowering period and ability to attract pollinators. Marguerite daisies are relatively easy to grow, requiring moderate watering and occasional pruning to maintain their shape. They make excellent choices for containers, borders, or flower beds.
