Description

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.

Faqs

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.
