Argyranthemum Marguerite Daisy

Few plants brighten up a garden quite like the Argyranthemum, commonly known as the Marguerite Daisy. Loved for its cheerful, daisy-like blooms and hardy nature, this classic perennial shrub is a true garden favourite across Australia. With its profusion of flowers in white, pink, yellow, and soft pastel shades, the Marguerite Daisy brings colour, light, and charm to garden beds, borders, and pots almost year-round.

At Online Plants, a trusted plants nursery in Melbourne, we proudly stock a beautiful range of Argyranthemum varieties that thrive in Australia’s climate. Whether you’re creating a cottage-style garden, brightening up coastal landscapes, or adding colour to your patio, the Marguerite Daisy is a versatile choice that delivers effortless beauty and long-lasting performance.

A Garden Classic with Endless Appeal

The Argyranthemum is native to the Canary Islands and has adapted perfectly to Australia’s warm, sunny conditions. Its finely divided, fern-like foliage forms a neat mound, providing a lush green backdrop for the vibrant blooms that appear throughout most of the year. Flowering from late winter through to late autumn, these daisies are a beacon of colour when many other plants are dormant.

Each bloom features a classic daisy shape — simple yet striking — and sits atop strong, slender stems that sway gently in the breeze. Depending on the variety, flowers may appear in shades of pure white, golden yellow, rosy pink, or soft cream, making them ideal for mixing and matching in your landscape design. The blooms also attract bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden.

Easy to Grow and Low Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of growing the Marguerite Daisy is its ease of care. These plants thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil. Once established, they are moderately drought-tolerant, making them an excellent choice for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens.

Regular deadheading — removing spent blooms — encourages continuous flowering and keeps the plant looking tidy. Light pruning after the main flowering flush helps maintain a compact, bushy shape. Marguerite Daisies benefit from occasional feeding with a balanced fertiliser during the growing season to support vibrant blooms and healthy foliage.

They are also frost-tolerant in most Australian regions and adapt well to coastal conditions, making them a great fit for both inland and seaside gardens.

Versatile Uses in the Garden

The Argyranthemum is as versatile as it is beautiful. Its compact growth and prolific flowering make it ideal for a wide range of garden settings. In borders and garden beds, it provides continuous colour and blends beautifully with other flowering perennials like Lavenders, Geraniums, and Salvias.

It also performs exceptionally well in containers and hanging baskets, where its cascading flowers can spill over the edges, creating a stunning display on patios and balconies. For coastal gardens, Marguerite Daisies offer a splash of cheerful colour that thrives in sandy, well-drained soils.

When mass-planted, they create an eye-catching carpet of blooms that can transform a dull area into a vibrant feature. Their bright flowers also make lovely cut arrangements, bringing garden freshness indoors.
