How do I care for Marguerites?

I've been given a pot of marguerites (which I think are the daisy family) but can't find anything on the internet about looking after them. Any ideas?


Thanks.

Reply:Marguerite Daisies are perennial plants, they are usually grown outdoors, treat them like any other perennial plant.


Fertilise regularly with a liquid fertiliser or use a general slow release if you prefer.


Cut back about a 1/3 of the plant after flowering to maintain good shape.
Reply:The latin name is Argyranthemum (prev: Chrysanthemum frutescens); they are evergreen perennials. If you put the latin name into a search engine on the internet you should get quite alot of information. I think they are usually treated as an annual in much the same way as pelagoniums.
