General Description
The tough shrubby Angelic™ Pink Wonder Marguerite daisy is admirable for its frilly foliage and abundant blooms, tricking you into thinking it's a Shasta daisy. An upright, clumping, vigorous plant that bears lots of flowers, the blooms occur on stem tips. First appearing early in the spring for a long flowering season, each flower opens with a large golden eye and pale buttery yellow petals. After a few days, the petals fade to nearly pure white.
This bushy clump-forming perennial has bright green, deeply lobed leaves that are ferny and emit a strong fragrance when crushed. Its daisies are produced above the foliage and appear from late spring till frost or almost year round in frost free climates. Flowering subsides in very hot weather and deadheading will prolong vigorous bloom.
This easy-to-grow plant grows beautifully in full sun and moderately fertile garden soil with good drainage. Regular light pruning will promote compact growth, increase flowering and provide cuttings for propagation. Plants are wind and salt tolerant.
Grow Angelic™ Creamy Yellow Marguerite daisy in seaside gardens, containers, or sunny garden beds. The blooms draw butterflies and can also be cut for flower arrangements.
