Product description
Argyranthemum Blush Pink is a traditional, bushy tender perennial known for producing an enormous, eye-catching display of pink, daisy-style blooms. Native to warmer regions, they are commonly grown as fast-growing outdoor plants in cooler climates, specially cultivated to produce a nonstop flush of flowers above finely divided, fern-like foliage. They are incredibly attractive to pollinators, making them a bold and colourful choice for pots, borders, bedding and more.
When caring for these vigorous daisies, they need a position in full, intense sunlight with good airflow around the plant. Grow them in a general-purpose, free-draining neutral compost and keep the soil evenly moist without allowing it to become saturated. The key to prolonging their flowering season is regular, persistent deadheading; removing spent blooms stops the plant from producing seed and encourages it to keep forming new buds all the way through to the first frosts.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
The ultimate secret to keeping an Argyranthemum blooming relentlessly is aggressive deadheading. Ruthlessly snip off the faded daisy blooms down to the next bud to stop the plant from wasting energy on seed production. This single chore guarantees a continuous explosion of fresh flowers right up until the cold weather hits.
How to Water
As the Argyranthemum thrives in baking heat, you must check the soil moisture daily to prevent it from completely drying out. Maintain a consistently damp but never waterlogged compost to keep the feathery foliage lush and vibrant.
How to Plant
To get your Argyranthemum off to the best start, plant it in a well-draining, neutral potting compost. Make sure it is positioned in a spot that receives full, direct sunlight for most of the day. This will ensure it develops a strong, bushy framework rather than stretching weakly for light.
