Boston Daisy

Argyranthemum frutescens

Boston Daisy

Bring a burst of bright, sunny cheer to your garden with the easy-going Boston Daisy.

The Boston Daisy is a fast-growing, bushy plant known for its deeply cut grey-green foliage and abundant daisy-like blooms. Native to the Canary Islands, this sunny perennial shrub sits beautifully in outdoor garden borders and patio containers. It grows between 0.4 and 1 meter tall, filling outdoor spaces with classic cheerful flowers throughout the spring.

Gardening beginners will appreciate how easy this plant is to care for in the right outdoor spot. It thrives in full sun and requires moderate watering to keep blooming its best. You can easily start new plants using either seeds or cuttings, though it does need to be kept away from pets and humans due to its toxicity.

Beyond its lovely looks, the aromatic leaves give off a pleasant scent whenever you brush past them. The flowers also serve as a helpful food source, actively attracting local bees and butterflies to your yard. It pairs wonderfully in the garden alongside other sun-loving companions like lavender, salvia, rosemary, and petunias.
