PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Canary Island marguerite is a tender perennial and a choice selection for large pots in northern areas in full sun, with some afternoon shade where summers are hot and dry. Pinch early for a robust branching habit and deadhead to keep the flowers coming. We find that flowers are produced all year round, making it a good winter greenhouse subject.
