Argyranthemum 'Sugar and Ice'

Federation Daisy

Argyranthemum 'Sugar and Ice' adds distinctive interest to NZ planting. Plant in the spring after the risk of frost has passed, and water regularly while the plant is establishing. Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant but will flower best with consistent moisture. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, and trim lightly in late summer to maintain a tidy shape. For NZ gardeners, it is an appealing choice for flower borders, mixed containers, and colourful patio displays. Give it full sun or light shade and fertile soil with good drainage to support its best growth.
