Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

The Silver Lady Marguerite Daisy is a delicate and romantic tender perennial prized for its exceptionally fine, silvery-white, fern-like foliage and continuous display of charming daisy flowers. Its finely dissected, almost thread-like leaves create a soft, airy, silver-green mound that provides exquisite texture and contrast in the garden. From spring through fall, it is adorned with a profusion of small, single, white daisy flowers with cheerful yellow centers, creating a luminous, cloud-like effect. This fast-growing, sun-loving plant is perfect for adding softness and light to containers, borders, and cottage gardens in mild climates.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Is it a perennial or an annual?
A: It is a tender perennial (USDA zones 9b-11) . In most climates with frost, it is grown as a spectacular long-blooming annual for the spring-to-fall season . It can also be overwintered indoors in a bright, cool location.

Q: How do I keep the foliage looking full and silver?
A: Regular light pruning and deadheading are key. Pinch back leggy stems occasionally to promote bushier growth and prevent the plant from becoming woody. Shear back lightly after the main spring flush to encourage fresh, compact new foliage and another wave of blooms . Avoid over-fertilizing, which can produce lush green growth at the expense of the silver coloration.

Q: Can it tolerate full sun?
A: It prefers full sun in mild, coastal climates. In hot inland or desert areas, it benefits from light afternoon shade and may not perform as reliably during peak summer heat . It is more sensitive to extreme heat than some other Marguerite Daisy varieties .

Q: How cold hardy is it?
A: It is damaged below 32°F (0°C) and is reliably hardy only in frost-free climates . In USDA zones 8 and colder, it must be treated as an annual or grown in a container and moved indoors before the first frost.
