Description
Marguerite daisy is beautiful and resilient, and members of the award-winning Molimba™ Helio Double Pink is especially pretty and vigorous. It has double pink and white flowers. Its parent species is native to the Canary Islands, Madeira and other regions in Macaronesia where it survives in sunny rough sloped terrain. Extensive breeding has resulted in the Molimba hybrids, which are Syngenta Seed introductions. This open-pollinated cultivar was bred and selected by Anna Houbraken in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.
This shrubby clump-forming selection has green, deeply lobed ferny leaves that emit a strong fragrance when crushed. Its daisies are produced above the foliage from late spring till frost or almost year-round in frost-free climates. Molimba™ Helio Double Pink has pink and white double flowers and grow to 14-24" tall.
They are exceptional plants for quick container gardens due to their fast growth and prolific flowering. Use them to flesh out sparse beds and borders, especially those in tough hot spots. These grow as shrubby perennials in frost-free climates and annuals in temperate zones.
