Pachystegia Insignis.

Marguerite of New Zealand. Grey green foliage fury coating when young. White daisy flowers from interesting buds in summer.

Flowering Season

From Early Summer TO Late Summer

In summer, large white daisy-like flowers complement the silky, silvery leaves.

Planting Outdoors Spring

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

For it to thrive in the home garden or container, it needs excellent root drainage to prevent any fungal problems. Therefore plant in a sunny spot. Alternatively, plant your Marlborough rock daisy into, preferably, a porous, terracotta pot using a compost mix that has had plenty of horticultural grit or vermiculite added.
