How to care for marguerite Grandaisy Deep Red ('Bonmax 14143') (PBR) (Grandaisy Series):
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed or patio pot.
Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushiness and apply a deep, dry mulch around the base of the plant in autumn if planted in open ground and protect with cloches or plant protection fleece if hard frost is forecast.
If top growth is damaged by the frost, the plants often re-grow from the base in spring. While a perennial, marguerites are often grown as annuals.
