Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Madeira Pink Deep') - Growth
Does best with full sun, and can sustain a variety of temperatures when beyond the delicate stages of cutting propagation. Can grow to 3 feet tall. Grows very well in coastal regions.
Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Madeira Pink Deep') - Planting
Marguerite Daisies are easily propagated vegetatively via rooted cuttings. Cuttings should be placed in a rooting medium (like Oasis) and set under a mister set so as to receive precisely the right amount of moisture. The cuttings will callous in five days to a week, and will begin rooting shortly thereafter. Be sure to give adequate water to recent transplants as they may not have sufficient root systems to accommodate their thirsty leaves. Monitor light levels as well. As rooting becomes deeper, gradually reduce misting levels. After about a week of gradual mist reduction, the cuttings should be stable enough to begin receiving regular waterings instead. At all points in the process, do not allow the cuttings to wilt. When transplanting, consider applying a fungicide to prevent disease, and do not immediately over-water.
Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Madeira Pink Deep') - Pest
Aphids, mealy bugs, scales, leaf miner, thrips, fungus gnats, worms and spider mites can all be problems. Diseases like botrytis, rhizoctonia and stem canker can strike as well.
Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Madeira Pink Deep') - Interesting facts
Argyranthemum includes 23 species, occurring in a variety of habitats ranging from coastal beaches to volcanic mountains. They are excellent for bedding or borders, because they flower pretty much continuously.
Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens 'Madeira Pink Deep') - Soil and irrigation
Generally, Marguerite Daisies need high levels of organic matter in their soils to thrive. The soil should be well-drained. Keeping the soil too wet for long periods can cause plant collapse, but alternately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings can cause foliage necrosis. Ideally, monitor the soil moisture levels so that they reach neither extreme.
