About Argyranthemum filifolium
Argyranthemum filifolium, also known as Fine-leaved Marguerite, is a perennial plant from the Asteraceae family, native to the Canary Islands.

Care tips
It requires full sun exposure for optimal flowering, though it tolerates light partial shade in very hot climates. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings, and reducing frequency in winter. It prefers well-drained, even sandy soils, and is not demanding in terms of nutrients. Avoid waterlogging, as it is very susceptible to root rot.
