An intense fragrance emanates from the center of the flower. The edge is lined with radiant ray florets, which are differently colored depending on the species and variety. This bloom lasts a long time if you handle the marguerite properly!
Marguerites bloom from the end of May / beginning of June
Flowering period: May to October
The flowering period of the marguerite usually begins at the beginning of June and more rarely as early as May. The flowers can be admired until the first frost comes. Even the well-known Bornholm daisy blooms from May to September.
Tips for a long flowering period
To ensure that the flowering period can last for almost half a year, the following tips are helpful:
- use humus rich soil
- choose a sunny and sheltered location
- Clean out old flowers regularly
- remove yellow leaves
- keep soil moistured
- fertilize regularly in pot culture
tips
If you don't cut off the flowers, the daisy will quickly wear out and form seeds. Abundant self-seeding is often the result.
