Description

The Meteor Red Marguerite Daisy is a vibrant and prolific tender perennial, cherished for its non-stop display of rich, ruby-red daisy flowers. Bred for exceptional performance, this compact selection produces an abundance of single, bright red blooms with sunny golden-yellow centers that completely cover a mound of finely textured, fern-like green foliage . Blooming continuously from late spring until the first autumn frost, it brings months of bold, cheerful color to containers, borders, and garden beds. Low-maintenance, heat-tolerant, and a magnet for butterflies, it is an indispensable choice for adding long-lasting sparkle to sunny spots.

Faqs

Q: Is 'Meteor Red' a perennial or an annual?
A: It is botanically a tender perennial (hardy in USDA zones 9b-11). In climates with frost (zones colder than 9), it is most commonly grown as a spectacular long-blooming annual for the spring-to-fall season .

Q: How do I keep it blooming so profusely all season?
A: 'Meteor Red' is naturally free-flowering. However, regular deadheading (simply removing spent flowers) and an occasional light trim will encourage the most continuous bloom production and maintain a tidy, compact shape .

Q: Can it tolerate full sun and heat?
A: Yes, it thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for the best flower display. It is noted for its good heat tolerance, though container plants will need more frequent watering during hot, dry periods .

Q: Is it suitable for coastal gardens?
A: Absolutely. It is well-regarded for its impressive tolerance to both salt spray and coastal winds, making it an excellent and reliable choice for gardens near the sea .
