My mother has it. I don't know about seeds, but I love the color, especially in her pastel garden.
Renee

It sure is pretty. Not sure if I have seen those for sale locally here or not.

Yes, Marguerites grow well from seeds.

(I pinch seed heads off plants too...wherever I go)

Thanks sweetannie, that makes the cost a little more reasonable. I always hated to buy annuals knowing I was going to have to throw them away at the end of the year. Did you do anything special to them when you planted?
Tammy

Nope.

Just scatter the seeds in loose soil in the flowerbeds where you want them to grow. Do not cover them with soil, just water with a misting spray and keep damp until they sprout. Grow them as you would mums. They transplant easily to other locations if you want. Do it on a partly cloudy day or in the evening. If you have a greenhouse, you can move some in for the winter and they will live on. They are actually a "tender perennial", sold as annuals in most locations.
Deadhead to keep them blooming all summer. Save the seeds.

thanks. I have tried saving annuals inside last yr and didnt have much success. Not much sun, and not near enough water. I am doing better with the winter and spring sowing,lol. Have you grown this particular variety?
Tammy

I don't know for certain. I am not much into the particular names of flowers. I buy what grabs me. If the colors grab me, I don't particularly care what its fancy name is as long as I know what family it belongs to. If I like the color and fragrance and it's the right price, then it comes home with me. (or I snip seed heads off the plants and start my own) :)

Marguerites really grab me. Beautiful colors, dainty, sprightly daisy like flowers and delicate foliage. I even like the way they smell. Some people don't, but I do.

Sorry. I am feeling a bit under the weather. Don't mean to sound so snappish. I feel kind of crabby. Haven't felt good for several days.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Annie, I certainly didnt take you as being snappy. I am the same way about buying plants. or cleaning them up:)
I loved the beautiful soft yellow of this one. I had never seen a yellow daisy in person before. I hope there are still some there tomorrow, I may go ahead and buy one.Sorry your feeling under the weather.I have been feeling the same way, but I dont know if its the fibromyalgia acting up or something else.Hope your feeling better, and thanks for the info.
Tammy

Annie,you're a woman after my own heart.I hardly know any of the botanical names of my flowers.Like you if i like it i buy it.

We have had a real lack of daisies for sale anywhere I've been. The closest nursery, the owners don't really like daisy type flowers so they don't sell any at all.
Lowes had none.
So we went to a fancier place, they had one Mum and nothing else at all that was daisy shaped.
Considering that daisies are my favorite, I'm disappointed!

Well, actually, I do know many of the botanical names - not all, but many. I think it helps to know about the botanical family because you learn more about growing them and caring for them. It's all those special variety names that get to be too much. Just look at Daylily lists for instance. It is maddening! There are hundreds upon hundreds of named varieties and probably many more unnamed ones! Sheesh!

And, I don't go gah gah over every new one and feel I have to have it because it is new. I don't collect flowers, I grow them. If it suits me and my climate, then I put it on my wish list and sometimes, if I am lucky, I actually get it sooner or later.

I do like to know what they are called for future reference if I am on the hunt for them, so I write them down in little notebooks, but I can't recall right off the top of my head most of the time. That's just not what's important to me. I'm not trying to impress anyone.

I dont usually see daisies here either, I think thats why the yellow one caught my eye so quick.I have been looking for sweet potato vines for container planting, Usually they have the traditional green one and blackie. Not this yr. I havent found one yet.
Tammy

Argyranthemums are quite easy to propagate from cuttings if you want to increase the stock of a particular named variety.

I agree with annie that it is important to know the botanical name of what you are considering growing. Then you can find out what its needs are. Just going after 'daisies' will probably lead to a lot of disappointment as that name covers everything from hardy perennials like shastas and heleniums which will survive anything the weather throws at them to sub tropicals like gerberas and some osteospermums. You also need to knowif you are dealing with annuals or perennials. With the latter you will get more value for your initial outlay.

Well i went back to HD and they had one of these let, and I grabbed it. Flora_uk, how do you usually root these?
Tammy

The link tells you more about Argyranthemums in general. You need to be careful with the cuttings as they do not like to be too wet or they will grow moulds. On the other hand they need sufficient moisture to prevent wilting while they root. A compost mix with good drainage is necessary.

I believe Vanilla Butterfly is a registered trademark name so be aware that I am NOT advising on propagation of that particular Argyranthemum .....

Here is a link that might be useful: Argyranthemums

Sorry Flora_uk, didnt think about that.
Tammy

Tammy - I think I should have put one of these at the end of my message ;)

Oh no, flora-uk, i certainly didnt take you in a bad way. I just never thought about it having trademark limits..duh, kinda NOT thinking on my part. I just felt bad putting someone on the spot.
I did find it odd that the PW site said it needed full sun to partial shade, and the other site said ONLY full sun. Right now mine is planted in an area that will get sun from about 1 or 2 pm on. I would guess the PW site would be most accurate. I hope.
