Open ground — Argyranthemum frutescens

Argyranthemum frutescens (L.) Sch. Bip.

In temperate climates, Argyranthemum frutescens is grown in open ground as an annual. The crop requires regular watering without moisture stagnation and is sensitive to extreme temperatures, preferring cool, well-lit locations.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Marguerite daisy, where this is mentioned in the description.

Seedlings are planted in their permanent location after the threat of night frosts has passed, taking care not to damage the root system and maintaining the same planting depth. The plant is characterized by rapid growth and requires well-lit areas, while it is important to protect the plantings from excessive midday heat.

The main difficulty in agrotechnics lies in maintaining constant soil moisture. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging, as standing water is detrimental to the plant, as is poor air circulation. Unlike the container method, when grown in open ground, three fertilizer applications per season are sufficient.
