Make a bold statement in your garden with our Deep Magenta Marguerite Daisy. This stunning variety delivers an intense pop of color with its richly saturated magenta-purple petals. The petals feature a subtle, natural ribbed texture that adds depth and elegance, beautifully wrapping around a prominent, bright lime-green spherical center. The vibrant contrast between the deep magenta and the sunny green eye makes this flower an absolute head-turner.

Unlike many traditional daisies that fade in hot weather, this Marguerite Daisy is built for summer performance. Its robust, bushy growth habit makes it incredibly adaptable—it excels when mass-planted along sunny flower borders, used as a dramatic filler in mixed patio containers, or cascading gracefully from hanging baskets. The lush, dark green, finely textured foliage provides a healthy-looking backdrop all season long. To enjoy the longest possible blooming period, place them in a full sun location, keep the soil evenly moist, and perform routine deadheading to keep new flower buds emerging continuously.

Plant Habit: Mounding, upright, bushy, and slightly spreading.
Light Requirements: Full Sun (6-8+ hours direct daily for best blooms).
Water Requirements: Moderate. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid soggy roots.
Temperature Requirements: Thrives in warm weather (60°F-80°F / 15°C-27°C). Heat-tolerant; will continue blooming through summer.
Soil Type: Well-draining, loamy or sandy soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0 - 7.0).
Bloom Start: Late spring (typically mid-May, depending on zone).
Bloom End: Late fall / First hard frost (typically October/November).
Pollination: Attracts bees and butterflies (Entomophilous).
Planting Depth: Surface sow (max 1/16 inch deep, requires light to germinate).
Life Cycle: Tender Perennial (widely grown as a warm-season annual in most US climates).
Plant Height: 12 to 36 inches (30-90 cm), depending on the variety.
Plant Spacing: 12 to 15 inches (30-38 cm).
USDA Zones: 9 – 11 (Hardy perennial). Grown as an annual in cooler zones (3-8).
Resistance: Moderately drought-tolerant (once established); Deer resistant; Heat-tolerant; Susceptible to root rot if heavily overwatered.

Timing (Indoor Sowing):Start your seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your area's last expected spring frost. Because they grow quickly once the weather warms, early indoor sowing ensures robust plants ready to transplant.
Site Selection (Sunlight):Choose a planting location that receives Full Sun (at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day). While they can tolerate light shade, full sun is essential for the heaviest flowering and the most vibrant pink petal color.
Soil Preparation (Drainage is Key):Marguerite Daisies thrive in well-draining, moderately fertile soil. They prefer a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0 - 7.0) and light, loamy textures. Avoid planting in heavy, waterlogged clay, as poor drainage is the quickest way to cause root rot.
Sowing Steps (Indoor):Fill a seed tray with moistened, sterile seed-starting mix. Because they require light to germinate, sprinkle seeds on the surface and press them in gently (no deeper than 1/16 inch) to ensure soil contact while keeping them exposed. Place the tray in a warm area at 65°F-75°F (18°C-24°C). Cover with a clear plastic dome to retain moisture.
Watering (Germination & Maturity):During germination: Keep the soil evenly moist (not soggy) by misting from the bottom.
Once established: They prefer consistently moist soil but are moderately drought-tolerant. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Allow the soil to drain freely; never let the roots sit in standing water.
Transplanting (Hardening Off):Before moving plants outdoors, harden off your indoor seedlings for 7 to 10 days. Gradually expose them to outdoor wind, direct sun, and cooler nighttime temperatures. Only transplant them after all danger of frost has completely passed and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 50°F (10°C).
Maintenance (Continuous Blooming):To extend the blooming season, practice regular deadheading. Use scissors or pinch off spent flowers down to the next set of leaves as soon as the petals begin to wilt. This forces the plant to redirect energy into producing new flower buds rather than forming seeds.

📏 Planting Density

Standard Garden Beds (Mass Planting): 12 to 15 inches (30-38 cm) apart. This spacing ensures full coverage and allows good airflow to prevent mildew.
Containers / Hanging Baskets: Plant 3-4 plugs per 12-inch (30 cm) pot, or 4-5 plants in a large 16-inch hanging basket to create a lush, overflowing display.
Density per Square Foot: Approx. 1 plant per square foot (spaced at 12-inch centers).

⏱️ Simple Growth Timeline (Days)

Days to Germination: 10 – 14 days (at soil temp 65°F-75°F)
Days to Seedling Stage (Ready for transplant): ~60 days (8-10 weeks indoors)
Days to First Blooming (From seed sowing): 90 – 120 days (about 3-4 months, depending on growing conditions)
