Argyranthemum Sugar Candy
Argyranthemum, Marguerite Daisy
“Sugar Candy” is an herbaceous perennial grown for its pretty, daisy-like flowers. It produces masses of the single, pink flowers with a white centre through spring and summer. These are borne above the lush, green foliage. It grows as a dense and rounded bush to about 60 cm tall and the same wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of light frost and coastal environments but does need protection while it is establishing. “Sugar Candy” is commonly used to create splashes of colour in the garden, and is often mass planted either as a groundcover or on a bank, planted around outdoor living areas, included in borders or mixed plantings, or added to a cottage garden.
