Pure White Butterfly^® Marguerite Daisy Argyranthemum frutescens

I purchased 5 of these this spring and had the wonderful surprise of my life! They continued to blossom over and over with no deadheading!!! I live in SoCal so I can plant earlier. I planted them in pots and in the ground. Both did well. They reached a good 3 feet across with a full white display of blossoms! Now with the warmer weather, I am going to cut some back and see how they do. I will purchase these again next spring if I can find them again!

Not sure what the bad reviews are about. I live in a harsh climate; southeast Alaska. The winds blow hard off the ocean in summer, and the rain falls as well making the climate challenging. I am a grower and sell these by the boatload (literally-I take my plants to town in a boat to sell). This is one of my top sellers hands down. It is wind hardy, stands up to the toughest rains, and the deer don't eat it. I am too lazy to deadhead, so while they can benefit from it, they still flower profusely otherwise. Sounds like the bad reviews came from locations where it just isn't suited, but for the PNW and southeast Alaska, this is a champ.

I felt compelled to write a positive review for this plant. I was lucky enough to get this plant for free at a local nursery two months ago, so I thought why not? There were no blooms on it yet and it was fairly leggy, so I pruned it back, repotted it in compost-rich potting soil, and placed it in an afternoon sun location with ~6 hours of direct sun. The plant now looks bushier, healthier, and has been blooming for the last month straight in 90+ degree weather. It currently has at least a dozen open flowers with more on the way, and the cute white-petalled flowers last the better part of a week in this dry heat. I choose to deadhead this plant since it looks more attractive to me when it just has fresh flowers. I have had an aphid problem with this plant, but it has been manageable with a weekly high-pressure water spraying on the tender young growth where the aphids hide. I would grow this plant again, especially if I got it for free again!

Purchased one in early Spring and planted in perfect location, soil, etc. As others have stated, every bug attacked it...it was constantly peppered with flies. Deadheading way too much. Bloomed for a mere month in June. Here it is, mid November and still no additional blooms even after below 70° days have arrived. I have a pretty green thumb, but it made no difference. Just looks like a healthy green bush.

I bought several of these to put in a bed with some salvias. They only grew 6 inches tall and it seems every bug attacked it. I was very disappointed in it.
