Winter Care Of Marguerites.

If you live in a frost free zone, shear over the plants in spring time to keep them compact.For those of us living in cold climates, the choices are that we either, take cuttings in late summer and keep them frost free over the winter period, or the old mother plant can be dug up ,potted up and cut back by half.It must be stored in a light, cool frost free placeand watered sparingly . Marguerites ,or to give them their latin name Agryanthemum frutescens , have suddenly become popular again .The long flowering period coupled with the beautifully colored daisy type blooms, make the hastle of winter care very worthwhile.
