Marguerite daisy flowers are a small shrub-like perennial in the family Asteraceae, which are native to the Canary Islands. This little herbaceous perennial is a nice addition to flower beds, borders or as a container specimen. Marguerite daisy flowers, whose Latin name is Argyranthemum frutescens, are terrific butterfly and other pollinator attractors.

Available in a variety of hues from white or yellow to pink or purple depending on the species, these daisies are similar in appearance to the Shasta daisy. The various species and subspecies result from hybridization, and thus, may be imports from several spots around the globe. Two examples of this are the blue marguerite daisy, which hails from South Africa, and the white harvest snow daisy, which was brought from Germany.

For optimal blooms and healthy plants, marguerite daisy growing conditions end towards favoring cooler temperature. The blooms are fullest in the fall and spring months depending on your climate zone. Marguerite daisies are USDA zoned through 9-11, although I have heard from folks in zone 3 who say they do well in early spring. Regardless, it is certainly a fact that when the thermometer dips below freezing, it is time to say goodbye to the plant until the following spring.
